Almost all of the rack time of my FG yaks has been on quality Yakima
saddles, with as much hull support as most rack systems provide.  The
problem areas have been way aft or way forward, where the saddle systems
do not conform so well to the hull profile.  Perversely, the hull of my
light layup Wind Dancer shows no gel coat cracks at the forward strap
location, which is way aft of the bulkhead, and and where the yak is of
largest cross section.  Good fit to the saddles?  Don't know.  Go
figure?  Probably.

Then there's my boat...and sometimes I worry that my kayak might be too
much for my Yak racks.
