      Have any of you tried this method of towing on open water? If so, what

The system on the Lotus "Strait Jacket" --- essentially what you describe ---
works very well.  Easy to tow an incapacitated buddy in bigger water, safe,
low profile.  Don't overlook "contact towing", described in a recent Sea
Kayaker article. Also very effective and useful --- not as much in big water
--- in most incapacitated paddler situations, and we're only talking one meter
of three mil line and two stainless steel clips.
