Default tow rope handling

What's a good way to wind up a tow rope quickly and easily, store it, and unwind it again without it getting into tangle?

I remember that the Scottish Gliding Union had a good method back in the 70s, can any member explain that?


We use this type of cable reel. Stretch out the line and bring the ends together. On the other end, feed the loop through the hole and over the crank handle and start reeling in the line while holding the reel with the other hand on the inside sliding handle. Works absolutely tangle-free and is cheap!
