Harry, how was the tow line tied off?

I've towed with the line tied from my harness hook to the front of the
disabled board and had little trouble sailing. I know it sounds
awkward, but tying to the harness hook seems to line up the force of
the sail with the drag of the towed board. Ya have to be hooked in,
of course.

Thanks,
