Re: [Paddlewise] locking a kayak to a roof rack

When I made my last kayak, I fibreglassed a metal ring just under
the deck in the cockpit area.  Now I run a cable (or chain)
through the ring and around the rack then lock it.  Someone could
still get it with bolt cutters, but this keeps it safer in parking
lot somewhere for a short time.  This only works if you can lock
your roof rack down. A friend of my brother had his canoe taken
from off his car; they took the canoe, rack and all.  Some people
run a cable around the rack then through one window and out the
other before locking it to the kayak.
