[Paddlewise] Roof Rack Spacing - Fibreglass Kayaks

With respect to fibreglass boats, is it important to space the roof
racks so that they are directly under the bulkheads?

I am planning to attach rack mounts to the poptop on my Westfalia
tommorow. I do have some flexibility on where these mounts are located,
but once the holes are drilled, they are permanent. 68" spacing would
place the bars under bulkheads perfectly, but i'd also like to be able
to use my bike carriers which require 48" spacing or less.

So...how important is rack spacing for fibreglass kayaks???

Thx,
Eric
