OK, from experience - don't tow a kayak. Except for river or squirt boats the majority of Kayaks are designed to track in a straight line. All goes well until you tack. The painter slakens a bit, then rightens and your Kayak continues on it's merry way on your LAST course, until it is dragged sideways, flips over and fills with water. That should be the same for boats shouldn't it? That does not address your particular question about sit on tops however as it would not fill with water - but I still wouldn't tow it. I am still looking for experience, not opinion. As to carrying on deck... a major pain in the ass unless you have a 60 ft boat. Concur Any other questions? I've sold about a million dollars worth of Kayaks and have owned up to five at one time and still have a couple of folders (which are what I recomend and use on my sailboat). Me too. If you want an economical folder check out pac boat. My pac boat google's first hit was a pac boat being launched on a lake that was a little choppy and it was taking on water. Didn't look like much boat for a dinghy replacement. Gaz |
