RE: [Paddlewise] Tie Down B/S

  I use individual bow & stern tie downs for up to three kayaks/canoes.  The
only times I've had more boats than that on top have been for relatively
short shuttle runs on basically untrafficed (how's that for a word?) roads.
With three bow tie downs there are a lot of lines in the driver's field of
view.  I feel safer with each boat fastened to the rack and the truck
individually......but I'm one of those anal retentive types.<grin>
