Bill,

Thanks for bringing that up.  I am a newbie kayaker and just bought an Old
Town Castine.  I am storing it on a sort of shelving system made of 2'x4's
in the garage.  This puts the boat at car rack level so I can slide it on
the car.

I have put padding on the wood, but don't know if I should store the boat on
the top or the bottom.  The people I bought it from recommended traveling
with it on the car with the cockpit down, but I have seen other people
traveling with the cockpit up.

Any suggestions?
