Awesome pic, thanks for sharing. After reading some of the rack threads, a few friends and I are thinking of getting Burnham slings as well. Looks like they're working well for you.
Jibofo,
May I ask what size you use for carrying your canoe? I see there is a small (14inch) and a large (19 inch). I bet the small would cradle an OC1 nicely, but probably wouldn't fit a surfski. It looks like a sweet setup.
kona,
I use the small one for my OC1 and OC2. Fits great. Also used it for a 19" ski. Worked but an inch or so wider would have been better. The large is too wide even for a ski.
Eh Jibofo,
Nice one !
The buffeting cover can take the sheen off the finish after a trip like that.
aloha,

A little duct tape and the cover is skin tight.
Yeah, Burnham is way the best for carrying canoes.

Ordered 3 sets of these slings last week.(1 for me, and 2 friends) Hoping to get them this week. Will try to post some pics of them in action.
Then I'll be ready for my first OC1! ( as soon as I can get to one before its bought up ahaha)
