I've towed a canoe and it worked just fine. You'll have to experiment with
the best length for your painter.

We're sailing from Marina Del Rey to Catalina Island for a 3-day weekend
next week. One of our guests wants to bring a kayak. It's 15-feet long,
which is kind of big to fit on the bow of the Catalina 36, so we're
thinking
of towing it behind. My friend thinks it's stable enough in the water not
to tip over.

Has anyone tried towing a kayak? It's a 38 mile trip. Is this going to
be
a hassle?

Thanks,
