I used to tow mine all the time, but after some bad experiences, I now
carry it on some windsurfer brackets outside the lifelines. Motoring,
in protected flat water with the wind forward, it tows great. Get it
up on the second stern wave with the nose just hanging over, and there
is almost no drag. this presuposes an empty boat with no motor or gas
can. Sailing is another story. as your speed varies, you can't keep
the boat in position on the wave and it wants to wander. Drag
increases and it wants to start burying its nose. In a following wind,
it wants to move ahead of you. In a following sea, it will drive
itself up your ass or submarine.

The first time or two it seems very awkward and hard. Once you've done the

process it becomes very quick and simple. I can assemble mine on the bow of my
boat (with not much room) in about 10 minutes or so. Then I pick it up over the
lifelines and lower it over the side by hand. No hoist needed. I usually use a
halyard to retrieve it, but I've also done that by hand when in a hurry.

How does it tow???
