Assuming you could hit another seakayaker with the throw line, what's he supposed to do with it? He can't reach his bow to attach it. And trying to tow him from the middle of his boat won't work real well either. IMHO, a 50 foot floating tow line, with a carabineer on the end so that you can hook it up to him will be much more useful - except I won't satisfy your CG's requirements.
