What is required of every vessel towing a person on water skis, an aquaplane, or any other device?

A signed waiver from the person being towed
A flag signal system
An observer at least 12 years old and in position to observe
A special towing license

The correct answer is: An observer at least 12 years old and in position to observe

Every vessel towing a person on water skis, an aquaplane, or any other device is required to have an observer who is at least 12 years old and in a position to observe the person being towed. Option A is incorrect because while signed waivers may be necessary in some cases, they are not a requirement for all vessels towing a person on water skis. Option B is incorrect because a flag system may be used in some situations, but it is not a requirement for all vessels. Option D is incorrect because a special towing license is only required for commercial vessels, not for recreational towing. Therefore, the most essential requirement for vessels towing a person on water skis is to have a qualified observer onboard.
