You are correct in that most "sea" kayaks start around 15' in length, but some are shorter and recreation kayaks come as short as 7-8'. With all the brands available you can find a kayak that fits you (cockpit opening plus leg and feet room), your paddling style/activity (recreation/sea kayak)...

So here's my dilemma. I've been told not to tow a dinghy faster than about 8 knots, sailboat and displacement hull speed. Now maybe that is just sailors talking or maybe that is a recommendation for an inflatable, which I also own. I wasn't aware that it might be ok (not to mention safe) to...

I've been looking for a tender for my new 22. I've talked to several dealers of inflatables and I've discovered it isn't practical to tow a dinghy at planning speeds. I've been told that towable means sailboat speeds, i.e. 5-6 knots maximum. Right now I have an inflatable kayak I'll try...
