Roofracks

[softshuffle]

Hello,

For various reasons I need to transport my mast and boom on my roofrack.
What is quickest and safest way of tying, loading, unloading the mast and boom on/from the roofrack.

 

[torrid]

Bungee cords.

 

[Sail_J6]

Use spar clips which will hold all three tightly together

 

[Sail_J6]

You will also need to tie them of course - bungee cords are quick but cam-buckle straps will be tighter and safer

Thanks for the info guys......

The idea of spar clips sounds good...
I am looking for a way to quickly and simply tie/clamp the 2 sections of mast and boom together,
and so carry and load it as one unit... and then strap it onto the roofrack.
Will the spar clips do this.......

 

[Sail_J6]

Yes, spar clips will do exactly that
