What is wet tow?

Wet tow refers to the process of towing a disabled vessel while it is partially submerged or taking on water. This technique is typically employed when a boat cannot be safely navigated under its own power and requires assistance to reach safety. Wet towing may involve using specialized equipment and techniques to ensure the safety of both the towed vessel and the towing vessel. It is often used in emergency situations where immediate action is necessary to prevent further damage or danger.
