Geez, I gotta explain everything, don't I? Next you'll want me to draw a

Towing a kayak
 

I have done that with canoes and kayaks. You may need to tie a bridle under
the boat, sort of like a set of chin whiskers, other wise the kayak might
not track right and tend to in pull over sideways. This is a real problem
bith canoes, been there done that. With canoes you attach a bridle to the
thwarts or seat and pass it under the canoe to the other side. A painter is
attached to this bridle under water.

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,
