Default Dinghy tow line

have a catalog.

I would use this for a dinghy tow line because it floats, making it
less likely to get into your prop in reverse.


"Less likely" is the key phrase. Floating line can still get wrapped in
the prop, ask me how I know.

So far, I don't know of a single way to totally fool-proof any aspect of
sailing or cruising. The best you can hope for is a slight degree of
"fool-resistant."
