towropes
Skier's boat links
Towropes are ropes or cables used to tow something—typically attaching a vehicle, boat, or water skier to whatever is pulling it.
A towrope connects a disabled car to a tow truck, or trails behind a speedboat for a water skier to grip: She grabbed the towrope and signaled she was ready.
