[quote=Edchris177]I towed a plastic yak about 4 miles from my place over to the beach at a provincial park, & once took one of the kids for a pull in one. You need to go out & try towing YOUR boat. Each boat rides a little differently in the water. If you have a rudder on your Yak, put it down. Tie a "V" bridle from each end of the rear beam to the yak. Then you have to experiment with length of towline. Some ride better with some line out, others do better right against the beam. I found that the white water boat (no keel or skeg, rounded bottom) could only be towed with the bow lifted up a bit & tied right to the beam, as close as could be done without interfering with the steering tie bar. If let out behind it would not track a straight line, was constantly turning sideways.
I was never in more than 10 mph wind.[/quote]
