Very interesting and food for thought. Im a long-term kayaker just getting into canoeing. Your recent videos have been very helpful in getting my first canoe whitewater ready. Cheers.

Comparing turning abilitys of both configurations should be with the same task/manouver. Showing the bad left turn with the boat in tow while paddling forward with j-strokes compared to sweep-strokes/bow-draws while standing still with the boat attached to the side. I get the point of the comparison but the task was "turning away from the towed boat while moving forward". Thx for the ideas and testing.

Thanks for the comments. It might not be easy to see as the camera is a long way off but I tried every turning stroke in my repertoire in each system. For control and manoeuvre lashed to the side was much much easier especially in anything resembling force three and above. But I encourage you to find a sheltered place and try them out.

Very useful, thank you! Would you be able to cover how you stow longer painters?

I almost always just stuff them under the plastic decks on poke them under my air bag retainers.

If you were going to be doing this over distance, say crossing a lake, would you have the towed boat secured to the windward or leeward side of your boat?

Great question. It would depend on the direction of the wind and my direction or travel then thinking about the trim of the boats and also the power of the paddlers being matched. So not a straight answer unfortunately. I would use the wind to help both my travel and correction.
