Dual tows

Insurance says no.
For years, each fall our flat land club would move lock stock and barrel
about 200 km into the mountains for a few weeks. Most of the gliders
were relocated using dual tows with one glider on a 200 ft rope and the
other on a 300 footer - one glider would be on the left on high tow, the
other right on low tow. It worked great.
One day, being curious about this, we asked our insurance agent. We were
told that the policy did not specifically forbid this and if there was a
claim resulting from a dual tow, it would probably be paid. However, he
said that it would be highly likely that the policy would not be renewed
the following year. We haven't done a dual tow since. Bummer, man.
