My present rack is a Yakima w/saddles ... which used to be reachable. I've mostly used a trailer for five years and have had good success with it. There are some issues. Take a look at my web page (see URL below), and look for an article, "kayak trailering" in the "boats and gear" section.

I saw a truck bed extender at a local lake, with 2 kayaks. For those with a pickup truck it's a cool option. The one I saw was custom built with lights on the bed extention. I finally found an online picture http://www.oldinc.com/rhet2bscan.htm I've got a old canoe trailer from a summer camp. It'll hold 11 canoes or a lot of kayaks. The storage box underneath is nice feature.
