: I have a 14' Great Auk that I have been working on the past 2+
: years. I have the hull and deck stripped and am in the process
: of planing and sanding it. I want to take it with me down to SC
: (from upstate NY) this winter to work on it, when I'm not
: golfing. It still has the 2x4 strongback and forms in it. I have
: a ladder rack on my truck that I put my kayaks on (Pygmy AT,
: Pygmy Osprey and a Point Bennett). I would put the GA on the
: ladder rack but need to know what special precautions I should
: take. If the weather is bad, I probably need to put a tarp or
: something over it since it is not fiberglassed or epoxied. I
: also can't tie down the front since I don't have an attachment
: point on the yak. Would just straps work and would the stress be
: too much for it?

Hi Charles, I think I have your problem solved I made a rack for my Night Heron and it cost me about $45. Due to my stupidity I'm unable to send pictures
on the forum but if you send me your e-mail I will send them to you that way my address is nicola91028@gmail.com Good luck Nick R.
