I have a kayak trailer made to 1) carry a kayak and 2) attach to the rear quick release. I forget
the "brand" of trailer, but I simply did a web search and found it. If you are seriously interested,
I can go the storage unit and read off the info.
Some comments: 1) the trailer does work well - tracks straight, no real problems with the 'bent
(but, it is a trike), 2) the trailer has a large arm attached to wheels - the trailer stays ashore
(unlike a previous poster who used removable wheels that can be stowed in the kayak), and 3) I
discovered that I did not want to leave my trike and trailer ashore while kayaking - it was too
tempting to vandals/thieves.
The third point is what stopped me from using the trike/trailer combo. It was nice to pedal to my
put-in spot, but I came back early one time to see some folks "examining" my combo a little too
intensely for my comfort. If you have a beater bike, then it might not be a problem. Cable locks are
too easily defeated by a determined thief.
YMMV.
