Sailboat on top of paceman
Hi there,
Has anyone transported a small sailboat (laser or sunfish) on top of their MINI Paceman and had success?
Did you need to buy a special car rack to do this?
Just curious.

This from the MINI Roof rack instruction manual:
The total permitted roof load of 75 kg (165 lbs) must not be exceeded.
Effective load
+ attachments
+ roof luggage rack
= roof load
Remember that the vehicle with loaded roof luggage racks exhibits different road behaviour particularly when moving away quickly, during heavy braking or rapid cornering. Match the speed of the car with loaded roof luggage rack to the specific conditions such as road conditions, road surface, side wind conditions and the general traffic conditions. We recommend a maximum road speed of 130 km/h.

+1 165 lbs on the weight for the factory roof rack bars.
