Re: [Paddlewise] Roof Rack for Folding Kayak

Benno-
I don't know if you'd consider building a rack.  Check out the rack Dave
Houser built (http://home.earthlink.net/~houser4/id2.html).  My wife just
got a Honda CR-V with the factory rack.  I'm thinking about building
something similar for her.  It doesn't look too tough to build, it looks
strong and secure, and I think it's really nice-looking.
