My van's gear linkages decided to come undone yesterday afternoon. Luckily enough, it happened while I was backing up to the top of my own driveway, so I'll only need a tow to a workshop.
In the meantime if I want to go for a sail I have to use my other car. I have roof racks for the board, and the small sails will fit in the back, but not anything over 5m.
Anybody have recommendations for how to carry sails on the roof racks without too much risk of permanently bending the panels?
Also, for mechanically knowledgeable people, the linkages broke just over 2 years ago and were fixed. The van has done <20K since then, mainly in 5th on the highway. Should the repair have lasted better?
