Those with Drabbits Rack. What do you use to carry kayak?

[SavageRunner]

I just stack mine on top of each other and strap to rack. Looking for a better way to carry them. Pics would be great. I have the crossbars that come with Drabbits. Thanks

Will 2 not fit side by side?

My kayaks are a little to wide for that I believe. Looking at something like the Yakima Jaylow mount.

I attached a J-style rack to both crossbars. I prefer to use rhino rack, it folds down real low profile, has a 100 pound load rating when most others have 70-80 and seem to have more heavy duty parts than thule and yakima.

You can put two J-style racks with two kayaks on these roof racks no problem. A few times i have had a tandem hobie kayak on my single j style rhino-rack and two standup paddle boards stacked flat on top of each other right next to the kayak. No issues at all. Try to keep it under 70 mph:hippie:

Thanks for suggestion. I like the look of the Rhino Rack. Is this the one?

My kayak is too big for that style in the youtube video, I use a J-style rack that is only meant to hold one at a time as my hobie weights in at 88 pounds stripped naked. That model looks like a great option if you have two traditional style kayaks.

Every year for the past ten years my buddy and do a big 3-4 day kayak trip along the Bruce Peninsula in Ontario. There are several ways to carry them, but IMO the simplest and cheapest way works just fine -- using kayak blocks. Very versatile: they work with or without crossbars -- should work on a Drabbits rack. All they do is secure the position so they don't shift when you tie down.
Here are a bunch of examples:
BTW for two kayaks, you don't need the upright centre supports in the last pic, we've secured them fine on their sides on the blocks alone without those extra supports.
