I wouldn't worry. We used to have a Honda Accord and the distance between the roof racks was about 1 metre as well and we carried a 4.2(?) metre X-Factor and a 3.2 metre Viking Nemo on it with side-standing kayak racks and as long as the bow and stern were tied down to the bumpers, I never had any troubles driving up to 110km/hr. Without the front and rear tied down though, boy they moved a lot hehe.
