In Response To: Re: women loading boats (Pamela)

: Maybe the extension bar works for some boats, but my Storm, with its high
: bow, almost fell off the extension bar twice before I took it to the dump
: (the extension bar, not the Storm!).

How did it fell or slide - sideways? May be my extention bar works for me because it's *mine*, not from Thule or Yakima. It's a 3ft steel rod with approximately half leght wrapped into piece of car floor mat with carpet surface, fixed to the rod with a duct tape. Carpet surface provides better friction than bare metal or plastic (which is probably what commercial extention bars have), yet the carpet doesn't wear gel coat off. At the same time, carpet prevents the rod from sliding into the roofrack tube completely. I recall from the photos of commerical extention bars by Thule or Yakima that they have some kind of "stopper" at the end of the bar - a disc about 5" wide, perpendicular to the bar axis. This is smart.
