I just installed a rack system and got the Thule instead of Yakima. After reading this thread I can see I made the right decision. Rectangular bars just won't roll! While on the subject of bars, I have a 2 door car and the bars are ridiculously close together. Not being in a position to get a new 4 door car right now, I'll just have to live with it. Has anybody out there had a similar situation, and what are the options for supporting the portion of the boat that is suspended over the rear roof? Would foam blocks work? My present boat is a Kiwi Kopapa, quite short, sturdy Tupperware craft and no problem on these closely spaced racks, but in the near future I hope to build a Pygmy of about 15 -16 feet in length and don't want to risk cracking it. Any ideas out there? Thanks very much, Liz Miller Sacramento, CA *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Mon Aug 23 1999 - 23:22:45 PDT
