Towing a RIB

I recently purchased an Aria 10'' RIB made by AB. Unlike my Zodiac which had a total of 3 tow rings on the bow (one in the dead center and one off to either side) she only has a single tow ring in the center that is anchored to the hull. Any tips for towing her? With The Zodiac I would use 2 long docklines, criss-cross them and cleat them to separate cleats near the stern. This way I could control where she tracked. Perhaps the RIB will track better given the solid hull and its shape. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
