To tell the truth I'm leaning towards attaching a cam cleat to the deck of
the Nimbus and using 5/16ths line as a tow system. The only caveats to that
is the possibility of entanglement with the rudder and that handing off the
tow might be complicated if no other boat had the same system. Plus the
added handicap of having something sticking up on deck that other things
could hit or get stuck on.

We are planning some paddling get-togethers amongst our group so perhaps
some experimentation is in order this summer once the water warms up nicely.
If anyone else does this - or has done this in the past - a report would be
appreciated.
