: Richard,

: The gunwales of a SOF are the strongest part of the frame. I recommend
: carrying them upside down with the decks resting upon padded crossbars. In
: addition to straps around the hull I also prefer to use bow and stern
: lines to secure.

: Greg Stamer

It was suggested that I attach a sold A frame structer for and aft on my car to help support the ends. I realy dont want to do this. Were do you attach the bow and stern lines? to the racks?
