Saddle mounts for supporting a boat, such as a fishing kayak, above a crossbar attached to a vehicle, a vehicle rack including the saddle mounts, and methods of assembling a vehicle rack including the saddle mounts. An illustrative saddle mount may comprise an encircling member configured to be attached to a crossbar. The encircling member may have a horizontal bottom section and a top section. The top section may include a medial portion and a lateral portion. The medial portion may have an incline of less than about ten degrees, and the lateral portion may have an incline steeper than the incline of the medial portion. Another illustrative saddle mount may comprise an encircling member including a rib, such as a recessed rib, for providing load strength. The rib may be elongated along an encircling path followed by the encircling member.
