A fascinating discussion on towing, but I am surprised no one mentioned the advisability of fastening the tow-rope amidships on the towing boat rather than from the stern - that way you can control the tow better and avoid 'overtaking'.

Also - if you're rowing the 'tugboat', tie a weight on the rope, or tie on via the mud-weight - that will avoid jerking and possibly snapping the rope. (Like Peter R, I am referring to calm water towing)
