I carry all sorts of boats on the roof of my van with nothing but Styrofoam and stout line... the heaviest of which is a Dyer dink... a 10 foot lap strake wooden sailing dinghy.. complete with oars, mast and boom ... I keep the sails in the bus...with the dog... if you rig your boat snuggly on the Styrofoam it goes no where... I have carried such a beast and others up top for a couple of thousand miles with no ill effects... with an outboard in the luggage rack at the same time on occasion |
