Question 2242 Deck General

The correct answer is B) Two. The bridle for an ocean tow typically has two legs. This is because the bridle is used to connect the towing vessel to the vessel being towed, and it needs to distribute the towing force evenly across the two connection points on the towed vessel. Using a two-legged bridle allows the towing force to be shared between the two attachment points, providing a more stable and secure connection during the tow. The other options are incorrect because a bridle would not typically have only one leg (A), three legs (C), or four legs (D). The standard configuration for an ocean tow bridle is two legs to ensure a balanced and secure connection between the towing and towed vessels.
