What glider types can be retrofitted with a 'nose' tow hook? Whatglider types cannot?

Thanks, Jim. Interesting, I didn't realize the Aussies would let anyone tow above the wake. That will make it easier if I ever get down there again...

Level tow = high tow, just above the wake, not just below it.

I don't know about others but I have always been taught/teach that high tow
is the position above and just clear of the turbulence caused by the tug
slipstream. Low tow is just below it. The position should be so that the
glider is just clear of the slipstream, any higher/lower is out of
position. There are terms to describe only two tow positions not three.
