In the definition 6.2 + Boat I don't quite understand why crew is involved for towed boats or in fact why bother if being towed, or I may be completely missing something

This is a case one table doing double duty. If a ship is towing its boats (which was very common in combat), a Boat Hit result would be rolled on the Boat Damage Table. If unmanned and/or unarmed (which is generally the case), only the sunk result would count (the others are ignored).
