I have found that straps change length quite a bit from wet to dry - the shrink as they dry, so tightening damp, cool straps too much can result in crushing the boat when the sun comes out and they get really dry.

Classic problem when tying the boats on in the cool early morning and arriving when the sun is up and hot!
