Trident 13 Roof Rack?

I am in need of some experienced advice. I recently bought a OK Trident 13 from buddy (thanks Wired), and I am looking for some advice on the best way to secure it to my Yakima round bar roof rack. Wired gave me a set of saddles, however I hear that it is much better to go "bow down" when hauling a kayak around. If anyone has some recommendations for securing a kayak it would be much appreciated. 

I bought some Malone universal bars for the wifes jeep.down the road I will get some j racks but right now I slip a pool noodle on each and toss it on.use some pull straps to secure it and head out to fish.

I just lay mine upside down on the bars.  The gunnels are the hardest/strongest part. I then tie it down with kayak straps and a bow line. Doing it this way keeps it from denting where there is pressure from saddles on warm days. It is also cheapest since you do not need to buy anything extra.

Craig has good advice. I use saddles now as it makes solo loading my 70 lb boat much easier. Seat side down bow forward worked incredibly well for years.

Thanks for the help guys!

Tridents do oil can like a mother. The dents will pop out when it gets warm again but it can stress you out when you see it all warpy. Upside down or on it's side seem to be the best ways to go.

Yup ... easiest most secure and best for the kayak is upside down with the gunnels directly against the round bar. No foam no padding.
Don't use ratcheting tie downs ... just the cam lock lock straps. For extra piece of mind you can use bow and stern lines as well.
Enjoy the boat!

Thank you all for the help.

I like using the pool noodles over the bars so the yak can compress into it a little and it then "grips" better and no slide or chaffing.
