G'Day,

In Dances with Waves, about halfway though the chapter "Carnsore Point to
Dursey Island" (Page 80 in my copy), Brian Wilson describes in some detail
being towed at 15 knots by an Irish fisherman. From his description of
towing one kayak I think you might be better off towing the boats one behind
the other.

I found this chapter intriguing because it also describes navigation using
song lines just like Australian aborigines can do.

All the best, PeterO
