What I do from time to time, especially on longer trips (with the car) is a rope tied to the front (of the kayak), running over the car to the rear (of the car) and fix it there. This will avoid a potential "shoot out" during a heavy break manouvre. Thats a general problem you canīt solve with line around the boat and bow lines down to the car. If the kayak would slidder to the front, the long rope (across the car) will avoid this totally. Negative is, you canīt get to the storage room (of the car) easily and the rope might cause some noise on the roof. But a vertical bow line should be minimun, just think on Mr. Murphy.... What might happen, will happen someday! best regards Jochen *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
