The J racks do dent the bottom of the kayak, but it hasn't led
to permanent damage thus far.

I thought that the whole point of those J racks was that it was
supposed to prevent that!


You're still strapping it to something, in this case, two things, the
front and back j racks. Cinch it down tight enough, and the bottom beer
cans where it meets the racks. I suppose I could let off some, but I like
my kayak to not move when I try to wiggle it.



In regards to your homebrew setup, then, I suppose it means four or five
straps, such as your image shows, would stop the beer canning of the kayak.

One added thing I'll say about homebrew, your insurance won't likely cover
it if something goes wrong.

Dang... that's a good point. In this litigation happy society, if
ANYTHING went wrong, no matter how little the homebrew design
mattered, they'd claim it was my fault. Hrm. So, buying a weaker off-
the-shelf attachment could shield one from liability. Ugh. That
almost makes me consider giving up on the idea, even though I think it
could be better.
