tow rope
Skier's boat connection
A tow rope is a strong rope or cable used to pull vehicles, boats, or other objects.
In water sports, a tow rope connects a boat to a water skier or wakeboarder.
On land, tow ropes help pull stuck or disabled vehicles: We keep a tow rope in the trunk for emergencies.
