When in doubt use a bridle (2 points or 3 (if using the front eye)) on the 130 too and not just the towing vessel.
When I towed my dinghies (9' thru 15') behind my larger vessels I used a single line from the towing vessel to a bridle on the dinghy where the single line could slide (used a small block with rotating shackle) back and forth basically keeping tension the same on both sides and the center line slack as safety connected to the trailer bow eye. Never lost a dinghy at 6 knots or 25 knots in any type of weather.
