[Paddlewise] Towing a kayak behind a sailboat

I recently read that kayaks can be successfully towed behind a sailboat
that is too small to carry one on deck. I'm sure there are all the same
issues as in towing a dinghy, like surfing in following seas, rolling in
rough seas, and all the usual problems associated with backing up in
marinas. But, with a good cockpit and hatch covers, swamping should be
nearly eliminated.

Does anyone have experience in doing this and any tips to offer?
