Essentially, a >sailing cleat had been added to the rear deck. I did a similar rig on my Romany Explorer. Placed a jam cleat near the right rear of the combing where it was easy to reach and the extra eye centered over the space of the day hatch. As you described used a commercial (Lotus brand) bag, rope and carbiner. Would thread the rope through the eye and into the jam cleat, then set the bag under bungees - usually running it around to the front deck. Worked well. Only drawback, common to tows that fasten to the boat rather than the paddler, is that its harder to hand off the tow to someone who doesn't have their own rig.
