A mechanical load sensing arrangement is disposed at the buoy tow point and is coupled to the tow cable. This load sensing arrangement is mechanically displaced proportional to tensile loading of the cable. A mechanical stabilizer fin attitude control arrangement is interconnected between the stabilizer fin and the load sensing arrangement. The attitude control arrangement is responsive to the mechanical displacement of the load sensing arrangement to control the stabilizer fin to assume a low-lift attitude when the tensile loading exceeds a first given amount and to assume a normal lift attitude when the tensile loading is less than a second given amount, where the second given amount is less than the first given amount.
