Thule 887 SlipStream Kayak Roof Rack Mount Carrier Review

I looked for a carrier for a rowing shell that would fit my SUV (a bit tall) and would allow me to load the shell singlehanded.Most of the conventional rack systems for rowing shells hold the hull well above the rack crossbars and that makes for difficult single handed loading.

The Slipstream allows for a lower loading height and the combination of the sliding (to the rear) frame and the rear roller make it easy to get the boat started with little chance of hitting the roof with the hull.

My only complaint is that there is no simple locking mechanism for the rack system.Thule suggests using a cable and lock, but I would much prefer locking fasteners such as are available with Yakima and other Thule racks.

Product Description:
The Thule 825 Port Side Kayak Roof Rack Mount Carrier is designed to allow you to transport your kayak on the roof of your car. It uses an adjustable roller and sliding base system to load the kayak, which eliminates contact between the kayak and your vehicle. For maximum stability while driving, the carrier secures the kayak in place with saddles at the fore and aft, which allows the kayak to be positioned at the strongest section regardless of the base rack system's location. It fits the Thule square, Aero, and Yakima bars and also fits most factory-installed racks, increasing its versatility. This product is protected by Thule's limited lifetime warranty.
