  My kayaks are almost always upside down on my Yak rack because of the rain
issue.  I posted a similar question here a couple of years ago and one
suggestion that somebody had (and this could easily apply to boats carried
hole-up also) is to make sure that the cradles are located under the
bulkheads, assuming that your kayak has bulkheads.  This could alleviate the
stress absorbed by the typically weaker deck layup.
  So far no problems carrying either my FG Ascente or RM Skerray upside down
- and they seem to live on the truck a lot of the spring/summer/fall.
