Yakima Kayak Stacker w/ Lowrider base rack makes great 2001 Honda Odyssey kayak rack
No worries mrfixit, The Yakima Stacker is made specifically with whitewater kayaks in mind and several of them at once! But first you gotta spring for a sturdy and compatible multi-purpose base rack system that gives you the strong cross bars you'll need to attach the Yakima Kayak Stacker to and handle the weight of four kayaks at the same time. The base roof rack system you'll want for making a 2001 Honda Odyssey roof rack is the Yakima Lowrider system. This includes four Lowrider towers that snap onto your car rooftop side rails (that run from the front to back of your roof on both the driver side and passenger side). Also comes with two Yakima round cross bars. Normally you would go with the recommended 48 inch bars length for a 2001 Odessey, but in your case you'll want the 58inch bars so there is enough room for the four kayaks. Once this is attached you then connect the Yakima Kayak Stacker to the bars. Includes pair of straps to secure all the whitewater kayaks onto the roof. It's not a bad idea to get a couple pairs of cross bar pads too so the kayaks will rest peacefully on the crossbars. By the way other kayaks will work fine on the Yakima Kayak Stacker too, it's just not as easy to get them up and into positition, you'll likely need a buddy to help in the loading process. Hope this gets you out of the house!
