  7. the law is quite complex on salvage rights but as i understand it if you take another vessels rope then salvage can be claimed the amount usually a percentage of the vessels value taking in to account the risk the salvour was in to affect the rescue ie if a bot is broken down and is drifting onto a lee shore in deteriorating conditions and is towed to safety the salvour would get a bigger award than if the tow was from calm open waters where there was no immediate danger but only a few greedy people ever charge most are glad to help hopeing that the favour would be returned if needed
