I didn't check the photo links provided, to see what worked for them, but I would suggest towing as you would a canoe: with a bridle so that the force is applied from a point below the keel, a few feet back, with the lines running up to both sides of the deck rigging a couple of feet further back, thus holding the bow in the air and unlikely to turn over. Towing with a straight line is not so good. GaryJ Mark Arnold wrote: >Does anyone have any experience towing kayaks behind a sailboat. My cousin has a Menger Catboat that is about 10ft wide. He usually travels about 5 mph either by sail or diesel engine. I would prefer to tow my 2 touring kayaks rather than try to borrow some SOT's. I would appreciate any do's or don'ts' so I do not have to learn things the hard way. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
