I'll be acquiring a kayak (single 'yak, 10-13 ft) in the next few weeks but I do need to keep the cart behind the horse so to speak.  I'm asking for rack recommendations for my Nissan Sentra.  I'll probably be loading by myself, which is fine.  Hopefully this is the right forum.

Thanks all!

Just about any type of rack will work.  I have a Yakima rack that I have used on my small sedan.  I just haul the kayak upside down flat.  If you have a lot of overhang on the front you might add a rope from the front of the kayak to the front bumper.  Also if you need some cushion between the kayak and rack, some people put pipe wrap (foam insulation).
 Good luck and welcome

Being retired, they pay me when I go fishing, therefore I am kind of a professional fisherman.

Thanks! I ended up finding a new (but much cheaper thule, compared to rack attack) setup at Re-Rack in Portland.

If your going to be loading by yourself and find it difficult i would recommend getting one of these: http://www.thule.com/en-us/us/products/carriers-and-racks/water-sport-carriers/kayak-and-canoe-carriers/thule-outrigger-ii-847-_-16192

I have one and it makes loading my OK T13 a breeze.
