G'Day,
	I'ld totally support this - the "Paddling With Waves" book description of
towing at speed was worrying and wouldn't encourage me to have my boat towed
at a rate faster than paddling speed. I've also heard of kayaks being lost
by the occasional wave breaking a line during towing.

All the best, PeterO
