A sailboat was drifting towards danger, sail down and tied, and its engine stalled and wouldn't start. I asked the Captain if he needed assistance and he replied yes. I immediately took out the tow strap from my PWC storage compartment and got it ready for use. It took seconds to get ready for the hook up to the sailboat. I drifted with the sailboat and his engine finally started. The sailboat motored to safety. So, while I didn't use the tow strap, having it ready in the bag was a major plus. The rating may eventually get  5 stars when I do get a chance to use it. I have a couple other lines on board that could tow, but.....they aren't quickly available for emergency use.
