: I am almost done with my 1st wooden kayak(expedition single).What kind of
: roof carrier.I mean kayak upright or,on the side? Which is easyer to
: unload and load with on person? And are there and good cheep home made
: setups for a car with no racks?
I have thule racks and foam saddles. Now that I want to be able to carry three boats, I'm using an upright carrier for two kayaks on their side, plus the canoe flat on the racks. For the racks, I'd definitely get good ones and avoid the store-brand type (I've used them before, maybe they make them better now).

For a kayak carrier, if I were going to make my one, the type that Ross Leidy made are the best I have seen.

Cheers,
Bryan
