I have a friend who uses Yakima racks and cradles, and is howling about his cradles rotating on the round bars when loading and unloading. I use Yakima racks, but carry thirty pound boats on homemade cradles and seldom have trouble, but begin to understand when I tote my f/g Valley Nordkapp LV. So what do most of y'all do to keep your Land Sharks, etc., from rotating on the roundy bars?
