Transporting a kayak doesn't have to be difficult. The Rhino-Rack Nautic 571 Kayak Carrier – Rear Loading is designed to make loading and carrying a kayak easier, while providing a secure and supportive cradle system for your next trip to the water.
Part of Rhino-Rack's Nautic range of water-sports carriers, the Nautic 571 features a universal mounting system that fits most popular roof rack crossbars. Its rear-loading design makes it particularly convenient when loading a kayak onto the vehicle.
Easy Rear Loading
One of the key features of the Nautic 571 is its spring-loaded rear cradles.
The rear pads are covered with felt, allowing the kayak to be guided smoothly into position from the rear of the vehicle. The front cradles feature Santoprene rubber pads designed to cushion and support the kayak during transport.
This rear-loading design can make handling a kayak considerably more convenient, particularly when loading longer and heavier equipment.
Universal Roof Rack Compatibility
The Nautic 571 is designed with a universal fitment, allowing the cradles to clamp securely onto a wide range of roof rack crossbars.
Rhino-Rack lists compatibility with Vortex, Heavy Duty and Euro-style bars, making the Nautic 571 a versatile option for a variety of roof rack setups.
This means you don't necessarily need a dedicated Rhino-Rack platform to use the carrier.
Designed to Protect Your Kayak
The Nautic 571 features a large contact surface area to provide additional stability while transporting your kayak.
The front Santoprene rubber pads help cushion the kayak, while the felt-covered rear pads provide a smooth loading surface. This combination helps provide support while reducing direct contact between the kayak and the carrier.
Secure Your Kayak for the Journey
The Nautic 571 comes supplied with the essential equipment needed to secure your kayak, including:
- 2 × Tie Down Straps
- 2 × Rapid Straps with buckle protectors
- Front and rear cradles
- Security Allen Key
- Fitting instructions
The stainless-steel hardware is designed for durability, while the carrier is UV protected, waterproof, corrosion resistant and mould resistant.
More Than Just a Kayak Carrier
Although designed primarily for kayaks, Rhino-Rack also describes the Nautic 571 as suitable for carrying SUPs, longboards and other lengthy items.
Its cradle design provides a practical solution for outdoor enthusiasts who need to transport long sporting equipment securely on their vehicle.
Ready for Your Next Adventure
Whether you're heading to a river, lake or coastline, the Rhino-Rack Nautic 571 Kayak Carrier provides a convenient way to transport your kayak without taking up valuable space inside your vehicle.
