Always in calm weather, it's also true. It's a waste of gas, but it
does get you home faster.

Not a problem with nearly all daysailors. I used to tow 16 foot scows
regularly. Racers who had the wind die. Scows are somewhat
interesting, by the way. The A scows are 38 foot and 1850 lbs. They
can do at least 25 under sail. All the scows have twin rudders, pretty
rare for monohulls.

Usually, before starting to tow a boat a waiver has to be signed and agreed
by the captain of the boat being towed.
