: 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?

depends a bit on the height of the car. If you have a SUV then get a set up where you can slide it on from the back. If you drive a lower model either type will do.
If you are going to have two kayaks or more get the type that you can sit the kayak on its side. You can run out of space real quick if you have a small car.
