The action of pulling an object through the water by means of a rope.


Note: In French and in German a distinction is made between remorquage, Schleppen for towing by a vessel and halage, Treideln for towing by a land-based vehicle.




Please note that this is the term as it stands in the original IALA Dictionary edition (1970-1989)
