This is for an iceboat, but you could use it for any small boat.

Brian,

That is a pretty impressive idea!

In the 1950s, someone named Joe Dobler invented a similar roof rack solution. See Justin Pipkorn's excellent site on his Vagabond+ sailboat: here (http://www.amateurboatbuilding.com/ProjectJustRight/Chap17.htm).
