You are being towed by one tug. As you lengthen the bridle legs you __________.

Correct Answer: Option D — reduce the yawing of your vessel

Lengthening the bridle legs on a towed vessel increases the distance between the tow points on the bow. This geometry provides a greater restoring moment when the vessel begins to yaw, effectively damping the oscillation and keeping the vessel tracking more accurately behind the towing tug during transit.
