I just bought my first Mini two days ago a '08 Clubman S and love it. Looking for best advise on transporting a 15' kayak

thanks

 

This is what I use,
Minidomore hitch + Sportsrig trailer

Don't even notice it's back there, has minimal/no affect on gas mileage. I've only used it for short trips thus far, but so far loving it.
(except I still can't get the wiring harness to work, no break lights on the trailer).

 

Check out schatzy62 gallery to see factory racks on his with kayaks. Still don't think minidomore has a hitch for the clubman but I have seen minifini has one. Just think it would be too much money for the hitch and trailer. I carry 2 45lbs downhill bikes on my 08 with factory racks and it works ok.

 

thanks, this is a good start

 

minidomore not only has one, but several of us have put them on our Clubbies and used them

Ah yes now I see it on the page. Looks good on the car I may have to look into them!
