For heaven's sake, guys: (1) Pull the bung (2) See the rope go (3) Slow down (and, if you wish, turn) Notes: (1a) provided there is no large bow in the rope: you really don't want a loop of rope around the wing (2a) a little wiggle in the rope is enough to confirm that it has separated (3a) if you slow down, the rings can't hit you! (3b) some clubs demand a turn, citing safety, but in my view that's nonsense (3c) a turn lets the tuggie know you've gone (in case the normal characteristic longitudinal jerk has not happened, due to slack in the rope) J. |
