Here's what I use as a lightweight kayak trailer:

It's only good for trailering one kayak though.


NICE! :-o

Seriously, I'm impressed! Is that a canoe cart you're using?


Yes, it was sold by LLBean as a "Swedish Canoe Cart". I don't think
LLBean carries them anymore but there are several similar designs being
made.

How do you
fasten the kayak to the seat?


I just tie the bow line of the kayak to the seat rails. Note that this
simple arrangement only works if there's sufficient clearance between
the bow and the bike tire. The folding bike with 20" wheels shown in
the picture has plenty of clearance with most boats that have a bow line
attachment right at the front. But using my other bike with 700c wheels
it only works with my longer double kayak.
