Default towing a canoe by kite?

Ed Gillet used a kite powered kayak to sail from San Diego to Hawaii. You
can read about it in my new book A SPECK ON THE SEA available on
www.amazon.com

Yours,

Since I last posted a question about sail sticks, I met a guy who gets
the wind to tow a canoe by attaching a kite to the canoe using heavy
(trolling - woven??) fishing line. He claims that the canoe is much
more stable than having a mast that could cause the canoe to flip in a
cross gust.

Has anyone else heard of this technique?
