Also, the slower you go, the longer it takes for the towed to turn and straighten if you order a course change. When the towed is turning (re: not straight), you can't trust the data from it. I recommend streaming generally only 25-33% of the length of American toweds, and approximately 220 m for Russian toweds in order to reduce the time it takes for the towed to straighten.
