: I want to build a 20-21 foot double strip kayak. I have a very small car
: (Ford Escort). Does anybody know if you can transport this length kayak on
: this small a car?

One other option, if you have a hitch, is to use a hitch rack system similar to the one pictured. I have used one like this on a 92 Tarus carrying a 20 ft double for 4 years. What this picture does not show are the straps that go from the top of each side of the hitch rack to the outer sides under the bumber to help stabalize it so it doesn't rock side to side.
