[Paddlewise] bailer in a seakayak?

Hi fellow paddlers

Has any of you experimented with (elvstrom-)-bailers in the bottom of
your kayaks? I've been asking various sailors, if they thought it would
work for kayaks and I've been getting very mixed answers. Some says
that I wouldn't be able to sail sufficiently fast for the bailer to work,
whereas other claims that it also works for low speed. 

Quoting from http://sailing.org/int505/imghull.htm:
"You can see two Elvstrom bailers. The larger bailer is further aft,
 where water collects when the boat is planing. The smaller bailer
 is forward, where water collects when the boat is not planing.".

So apparently it does work "when the boat is not planing", which could
mean anything from 1kmh - 30kmh?

 best regards
  Peter
