: Can anyone suggest an inexpensive method of transporting *monofilm* sails
: on the roof of a car (I do have a rack)? It seems to me that for monofilm
: sails it is necessary to use a hard box of some sort, e.g. Thule; however
: these suckers are expensive and I wouldn't be using it enough to justify
: the cost. I recall seeing advertized a quiver bag w/ straps for use on a
: roof rack, but I really have a hard time picturing motoring along at 60 mph
: or more w/ this setup.
Is this really a problem? At the moment I just throw my sails in the back of
my vanagon, but with my old car I had everything on the roof rack. I just
put down the board(s) first, then put the sails (in their sail-bags/quivers)
on, with the boom ontop of everything, and just strapped tight. I've never
driven 60 mph like this though (not even allowed in Norway), but at 50-55
mph it worked ok.
Paul.
