My trailer has hauled my kevlar Necky Looksha 4 HV thousands of miles with
no apparent damage.  In between trips, my kayak sits on the trailer (hull
down) on the same Thule 878 Set-to-Go Saddle kayak racks it travels on.  I
have been looking for deflections in the hull on a regular basis over the
last two years but have found none.  I give this trailer high marks for its
high-speed, soft-sprung, shock-damped performance.  Check it out:
