Most roof racks aren't nearly as strong as we hope they are. Strong winds or collisions can turn your canoe into a 16' torpedo. Use strong ropes or webbing straps tied close to the hull on both racks. As a backup in case of roof rack failure, have a strong rope going from each end of the canoe down to a solid part of the vehicle.
