Re towing other boats, the discussion mentioned the Secret Water episode (Goblin tows Wizard & Firefly), but how about the end of Coot Club, where the Come Along, Old Bob’s tow-boat tows home Teasel, Titmouse and the Death and Glory, plus the Margoletta’s dinghy immediately astern. At the end of Swallows & Amazons of course, they decline return tows back for the Swallow & Amazon.

PS: the only special rope I recall was Parafil (trademark), for radio masts. It had no stretch/give as the filaments were parallel not twisted, inside a plastic sheath; plastic so less effect than steel rope on transmission/reception at (mobile radio) radio masts.
