I saw one plastic Thule box where the guy very carefully cut holes at the
back end of the box on the lower tray. He could lay his 460 in the box
runnning straight along the length of the box with the narrow end of each
piece poking out the back. The masts were zsecure because the holes were just
the right size to allow the tips to protrude but nothing else due to the
widening taper toward the base of each piece. It seemed to work well and he
didn't have problems with the overall strength.
