saddles for Trident 13 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Thanks for the replays. I live in Fresno, so any trips to the coast involve long drives at freeway speeds and mountain passes which can be quite windy. A cradle or saddle seems more secure than just lashing to the racks, but this thought could just be betraying my ignorance?

I didn't mention that I would often be carrying two kayaks (trident 13 plus my wife's Necky 13). That's why I was using a stacker. Otherwise I can't fit two kayaks on the narrow rack of my small car. My wife has a bigger but newer car but is not keen on having saltwater and sand on the roof and also doesn't have a rack anyway. The Yakima trailer is expensive, but the light weight and compact size would be better for us for several reasons (storage, towing weight, use as a launch site cart, etc.).
