Going at the pace they do, it is impossible for them to get out of anybody else's way, or for anybody else to get out of theirs.
Their line gets hitched across your mast, and overturns you, or it catches somebody in the boat, and either throws them into the water, or cuts their face open.

The best plan is to stand your ground, and be prepared to keep them off with the butt-end of a mast.
Of all experiences in connection with towing, the most exciting is being towed by girls.

It takes three girls to tow always; two hold the rope, and the other one runs round and round, and giggles.

They generally begin by getting themselves tied up.
