Transporting your Kayak |
|
If you have factory racks, it may be possible for you to
strap your kayak directly onto the wraps. However, in
most cases your best bet is to purchase a rack
specifically designed for a kayak. The preferred method
is to transport the kayak upside down. Although some
racks are designed to carry kayaks on their side. You
should use web straps to secure your kayak to the rack.
You will want to pull the straps snug, but not tighten
them so much that they begin to distort the shape of the
hull. The straps should cross the kayak near the
bulkheads, where the kayak is strongest. You can also
tie the front and back of the kayak to the bumpers of
your vehicle for additional security. After about
fifteen minutes of travel, you should stop and check to
make sure your straps and ropes are still snug.. |
