Description
The towing bridle consists of a 500 ft, 10 in. circumference nylon line with a two leg, 10 in. circumference nylon
bridle designed to tow the RRDF up through Sea State 5 conditions. It has shackles at each end used to attach it to the
flexor receiver inserts at the RRDF and a warping tug at the other end.
The towing interface is used along with the towing bridle to tow the RRDF up through Sea State 5 conditions. The
flexor receiver insert lifting device is used to install the towing interface.
There are four types of towing lights used during towing of the RRDF. The towing lights are identified by the color of
the lens, which are white, green, red and amber. The lenses are interchangeable and are adjustable for aiming
purposes during towing operations. These lights are battery operated and have magnetic bases so no adaptors are
needed for installation.
