From: "Merlin Emrys" <memrys_at_telecomreseller.com> > Hi. I am looking for a kayak cartop carrier for a Yakima (or Thule) rack > that will allow me to carry an additional 16+ foot sea kayak on its > side.

I have a Civic as well and carry two sea kayaks easily. I have a 48 inch crossbar and the secret is to attach the outer half of the cradle (in my case the older Thule sea kayak cradle) on the part of the bar that extends outboard of the tower. You could put a longer bar on if you need - just pad the ends so that you don't hurt your head when you bang it. > I have seen some J-shaped carriers, but these seem to only work with > whitewater boats. There are a couple of brands that work with sea kayaks. Thule makes one.
