What is required when towing a person on water skis or another device?

  1. A specific license

  2. A flag to signal others

  3. Another responsible person onboard keeping watch

  4. A tow rope longer than 10 meters

The correct answer is: Another responsible person onboard keeping watch

When towing a person on water skis or another device, it is required to have another responsible person onboard keeping watch. This is important for the safety of the person being towed, as well as the safety of others on the water. A specific license (option A) is not required but it is recommended to have sufficient knowledge and skills for towing. A flag to signal others (option B) is important for indicating to other boaters that someone is being towed, but it is not the only requirement. A tow rope longer than 10 meters (option D) may be necessary for certain activities, but it is not always required when towing a person on water skis or another device.
