KeelOver

I bought this to haul a 19 foot canoe on the roof of a VW Golf, which is only 14 feet long, so I need it to be solid. It's impressive how well the feet hold the canoe in place; I saw almost no vibration, and certainly no movement, in the boat once secured. I only gave it four stars for quality because unlike the pictures above, my Keelover came with plastic buckles on the bow/stern straps instead of the metal cams. I don't know how or why, but it means that I'm not using those straps. I bought a proper 12' metal cam strap for the bow and am not tying down the stern for now. I've never seen a setup relying on a plastic buckle for this, and can only imagine that Yakima recently realized what a bad idea this is and updated the product to include metal cam straps. Nevertheless, the feet are fantastic, and the main straps are really nice too, with the (metal) cams inside a well-designed rubber casing to protect the canoe. I'd buy the kit again, but the value of having crap bow/stern straps in the box is nil.

Great for hybrid kayaks too. I use the Keelover to transport my Native Ultimate FX12.

Can't imagine a better way to secure my kayak. I have a Native Ultimate FX12, which is very canoe-like and needs to travel on its gunnels. These are perfect; they totally eliminate side to side and front to back motion, have hard rubber pads to protect the boat, and are extremely low profile. My kayak hugs the roof line and doesn't catch a lot of air. Very well made.
