Polypropylene doesn't stretch, holds ? beyond the pull/yield capacity of 'normal' wind forces. Florida's Panhandle frequently sees tornado, I've been in two, one with the yak. No problem. I pulled off, sat the wind out while local traffic pressed on.
There's only one loose strap end off the clamp n you tie that down.
Why no shock cords ? CAWS I'M TIRED OF PICKING THE DAMN THINGS OUT OF THE REAR WHEEL !
As for shock cording a $4000 kayak at 70 mph....whoaaa! I have watched thus go on tho so I ask 'uh why the shock cords' ( no tie knot?) and get the usual....'Oh I'm only going around the block.'
Right. I see the value of posting as a general read but yes dry bags. I am butt deep in dry bags. I assume you're posting about vinyl dry bags. I would not strap over a dry bag either. My dry bags are treated like Ming Vase.
Vinyl glue is permanent. Try gluing tabs onto the bag. See Seattle Fabrics, get a heavy vinyl sheet, cut tabs, glue couple layers together and glue a reinforcing square onto the bag then glue the tab on. Sew/glue grommets into tabs. Vynabond. Locktite is selling a wide spectrum adhesive at Wal includes vinyl. Used the Locktite on nylon thru hull fittings and IT WORKED !
You would do this with an in position filled bag.
Other vinyl bag owners treat bags like dirt. I assume these bags leak before mine will but then there's the glue.
could be a net over an outer bag with a garbage bag liner for slipperiness would be the trick. UC sells nets.
