I second that!

I once had an "interesting" tow in France in a glass 2 seater behind an underpowered tug in which the tuggie was losing significant height in the turns.

Result - glider overtaking tug, huge bows in rope, cracked open airbrakes only made things worse -

- eventually had to abandon tow & scraped back to airfield!
