Question:
I have a canoe that is almost 20 feet long and another Kayak that is 12 feet long. Will these both fit? If so, what carriers should I use?
asked by: Bethany
Expert Reply:
Hey Bethany, the Yakima LowRider # Y82QD has a max weight capacity of 750 lbs so as long as your kayaks aren't terribly wide and don't exceed the capacity, I don't see why you can use this for both.
For a carrier, I'd recommend going with the Yakima JayLow Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs # Y04073 which will mount your kayaks on their sides rather than flat across, saving space on the trailer.
What kind of kayaks do you have? Knowing what you have could help give more of a definitive answer. If there is anything else I can help you with, please feel free to drop a comment and let me know!
