Greetings.... I'll soon be starting a car trip of approximately 2000+ miles with kayak on my vehicle's roof racks. I have a set of Thule Hull-A-Port racks which place the kayak on its side and I also have a set of foam forms which fit the Thule bar and keep the kayak sitting upright. My question: what is the best way of transporting the kayak - on its side or upright? I see some (hull) strength advantages of transporting on the side, especially with a fairly long overhang front and back with tie-downs adding to the stress on the kayak. Thoughts? Many thanks... -- cheers, Stephen *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
