Roof rack for 2 boats for Oct. 3-6 ?

Post by evgenirojkov » Sat Oct 26, 2013 7:49 pm

Could I borrow from somebody a roof rack for 2 boats for October 3-6?
I will fly from Stuttgart to Dublin for kayaking and rent a car (small one) on the airport. But it\'s no possibility to rent a roof rack there!
Could somebody help me?
Compensation in German beer or schnapps possible :-)
Please reply this posting.
Thank you a lot!

Hi Eugene

different cars take different racks. Even the same car will vary, depending on model (2 door, 4 door) and year.

You might be best bringing an inflatable roofrack, that is secured through the car doors and across the ceiling of the car. See for example http://www.handirackuk.com/howdoes.asp

The inflatable roof rack option is very good for what you want, my only advice is that you make sure to get the full insurance option from the hire car company as they have been known to charge huge amounts for minor damage such as a scratch on the roof of the car and we all know that this can happen when loading boats no matter how careful you are.

First test session for the \"The world\'s first inflatable roof rack\" would be in Dublin Airport on the October 2th in the evening :-)
Please let me know if somebody interested !
Future dates will be published in \"Meets\" next week!
