Thule roof box not big enough?
Tired of having to trailer your boat with the car packed to the gunwales? Found your average roofbox just doesn't hold or your boating guff... then you need this!

Not so daft, really......

Quite similar to a lot of the Oppie / Laser / 420 trailers - they put the box below & sit the boat(s) on "roof bars" / it's combi launcher above. Granted the dinghy is probably 1/10 the weight of the contents of the box!
