My winch strap is 25' in length; too short to safely tow a boat. My winch strap is also woven nylon, like a giant seat-belt, meaning it will not stretch, give, or break. Since I'm not interested in another boat 25' behind me using a strap that will likely damage fittings on either end if any kind of sea is encountered, I think I'll pass. You're not pulling a truck out of a ditch.

I don't get it...

Not to be a bummer or anything, but a lot of those "facts" are false.

That looks like fun, actually. As others have speculated, it was probably interesting below deck. I wouldn't want to be berthed in the bow of that thing, but I'll bet it was fun on the bridge.

Wikipedia tells me they can exceed 100'. Absolutely astounding. Did the hair on the back of your neck stand up?

I've been looking for something like this for years. I've posted queries on many forums, with no response. I'm seriously considering designing (and selling) my own...

How big do you suppose it was? It's hard to tell from the pictures.
