NACRAJON Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 I'm reading a book "beach cruising and coastal camping" by Ida Little. In it they cruise the Bahamas for three years in a Hobie 14 towing a covered Canadian Canoes between camping sites. Has anybody tried this idea? I've done a couple of Whitsunday's trips on a beach cat. I'm think about getting a more relaxed each cat like a Hobie 18 or maybe a NACRA 5.0 with wings. Towing a kayak seems a good way to get more time at the islands without ending up with an overloaded cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrSnapid Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 I have towed a pretty big fishing kayak with my Caper Cat 14 The kayak had my dad on board and he said it was the fastest his kayak had ever gone, almost planing. I also had 2 kids on board with me. I had gone out to help bring them back from some fishing they had been doing on lake copeton in the kayak, and since dad had recently been on chemo I decided to help him out a bit! This was in very light wind - on my cat it didnt feel fast at all. I would perhaps be nervous about doing it in stronger wind but i'd certainly try it once to see... I'm thinking about towing him to maclean from grafton down the clarence one day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TachingCardia Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Hey, just a quick chip in. So entirely doable. and a great idea. Not entirely sure where to hitch it to though. Probably center of the Stern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
