Logs dive. Actually, I think it would dive, depending on the speed it was
towed. It would surface immediately, but that would put a lot of strain

From this site:
http://www.wavelengthmagazine.com/2005/fm05primer.php

"Kayaks do not tow well. They tend to surf a boat’s wake, go broadside and
flip. Two kayaks will tow better than one if they are lashed together at
the bow and stern, creating a catamaran shape. The best plan for towing is
to put them inside your dinghy if you don’t have enough room on the deck."



Jeff, this is invalid...Gary only wants to hear about your own experiences.

I think I am just gonna tow my kayak for a while and see. I'll let you
guys know how it turns out. If it gets squirrily or breaks loose I'll
just bring it aboard. I don't think anything awful will happen.
