Chuck - Although I have a (probably well-deserved) reputation for being more 
than a little compulsive, the same sort of thing happened to me. But my 
Romany (how dare you call it a "British battleship"? Harumph harumph!) did 
slide off the rack on a curve. Amazingly enough, it hit nothing but the road, 
and with only a few (more) scratches in the gelcoat at that.

So - after that, I was much more careful. But yesterday it happened again - 
forgot to tie down the bow. This second time, the boat stayed atop the car. 
Almost makes me think that there is a God, who protects fools like me.
