In Response To: Other: Car topping a double (Ric)

I have transported a 21' double on a car with similar roof bar spacing.

I have had no problems even on one trip with a very strong crosswind which would have affected the car even without a kayak on top.

The important thing is how well you secure the bow and stern. Even with a much shorter kayak that is good practice.
