Question:

Hello, I have two Perception 12 foot kayaks width 32.5 inch /82 cm. I have a Thule tracker II system on a Leer topper. I have tried J racks and V racks with varying degrees of success. What J or V rack options do you suggest?

Expert Reply:

I really like the etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier # e98878 because it's simple, comes with all of the straps you need, it can fold, and it's not very hard to install.

We do have some carriers like the Thule Compass # TH890000 you were looking at that let you carry 2 kayaks with the same rack but the difficulty with these is that the carrier will pretty much be in the middle of the roof so it will be a bit of a challenge to reach that far over. With the individual carriers you can have them sitting towards the outsides of your crossbars.
