got a dumb question does the roll bar protect you from hitting rocks or something
My biggest worry is that my wife(when I'm dead)will sell my fishing gear for what I said I paid for it

It keeps you from ripping poles/net out of the holders while tacking

Maybe if you pad it with a pool noodle, your kayak might actually roll back upright.  :)

Here's another dumb question what's tacking

Tacking or coming about is a sailing maneuver by which a sailing vessel (which is sailing approximately into the wind) turns its bow through the wind so that the direction from which the wind blows changes from one side to the other. For example, if a vessel is sailing on a starboard tack with the wind blowing from the right side and tacks, it will end up on a port tack with the wind blowing from the left side. See the image at the right; the red arrow indicates the wind direction. This maneuver is frequently used when the desired direction is (nearly) directly into the wind.
