: Heiko,

: I've been thinking this problem over as well. The one bicycle-towed kayak
: trailer I've seen was built with two wheels and a single round tube that
: runs lengthwise between the carriage and a ball joint affixed to the seat
: post. There is a way to build one that is simpler and lighter and would
: require less storage space.

: The kayak is rigid so any lengthwise tubing you'd use would be essentially
: redundant. The carriage could be built up starting with a padded yoke that
: straps snugly to the form of the kayak at, say, two thirds back from the
: bow. Add a pair of struts for stability and situate the thing so that the
: boat sits fairly low between the wheels. Make another yoke or arrangment
: for the front of the boat and attach the towbar there. In essence, you'd
: just be adding temporary wheels and towbar to the kayak. It would take up
: little space when not in use.

: If you'd seriously consider something like this, I can whip up an AutoCAD
: drawing of my idea for review/modification. There must be more bicycling
: kayakers out there with some nifty ideas.

Hi Carl,

I'd love to have a look at your drawings .. if it won't took you too long...

Thanks a lot everybody! :-) Always a pleasure to ask something here!

Best regards,

Heiko
