It can make a little harder when you've four, but if you've four boats you also generally have four people lots of hands to balance boats until they're tied up.

Oh Christ it does.
Maryanne's car has those and they're a real pain. (Sorry Maryanne, I'm not insulting the mighty Astra, I swear!)
Longer ones definitely make life easier.


I'd be pretty sure that he Thule ones from Halfords would be a good bit cheaper than €185? Actually...let's procrastinate

Zog:
Did a bit of research, the Volvo racks (unsurprisingly) fit better on the car and the total cost of 185 is cheaper than all the necessary thule pieces that I needed (245) - it was an aero bar that made it expensive. So I've ordered the Volvo racks and told them to give me discount. I'd sooner it be a bit awkward to get 4 kayaks on than have the car damaged from badly fitting racks! ;)
