I agree that a dedicated thief can still just about anything. But most thefts are thefts of opportunity. See it, take it. A simple cable can prevent a lot. I'm betting most people don't carry bolt cutters or hack saws with them. Could be wrong though... An effective method that requires no modification of your boat is a lasso. I use this on my Romany. It has a loop on either end and locks in the middle. Toss a loop around the bow and one around the stern then wrap the cable around the rack a few times to make it tight and lock in place. Not much of a picture but you can see one end of the loop around a kayak here (scroll to the bottom of the page): http://www.noc.com/ss/racklock.htm Mel *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
