Canoe tiedown
I've stacked 8 of them on their sides two high on a Volkswagon squareback with a lot of rope and gotten 11 other paddlers and their gear in side same Squareback. We were all skinnier back then in college.

Canoe painters
I see it as "whatever floats your boat". Different strokes for different folks.
For what it is worth, I think that painters are worth having, but need to be restrained, and I like a 5/8"thick braided nylon 12 foot long painter on both ends secured to the bow thwart, not the grab loop. I secure my ...

I agree, make it runs, as long as you are there.
just throwing out some floats- not in any order. Here's more than 10 to brouse through, and then see if you are lucky enough to catch them at a good level. Late Fall, Winter, Spring floods best time to catch most of them if you want big time flows ...

WTB - Older Harmony / Perception Canoe paddle or Illiad
Several of us over here who are looking for an older Harmony/Perception canoe paddle or an old Illiad stick. We like big blades.
Thanks, Beaverman 479-986-8567 Rogers Arkansas
Might even consider a Norse paddle if price is right.

Value of Mad River ME
Boat looks beautiful - And just because it was formerly owned by Mayonaise Brains (Bobby Hair) ought to make it worth at least $100 more. Never seen one of his boats in such good condition when he got through with it. Last one of his I had was a canoe couch in my living room for 10 years,(1970's to ...

Paddles
Well, I bought "A" paddle, used, got a good deal on it, and I like it, but it will not be my main paddle - probably the paddle for my tandem partner. She's tried it a few times now and liked it.
It is a Wenonah Carbon C1 stick and weighs about 15 ounces. Nice and light, but the blade is not big ...

The stick search
Thanks for the replies.
I hope my knees hold up. Already had the right one operated on in the past and am liberally padding things up as I go. Dry suit should help me extend my season more comfortably than the old neoprene wetsuits. Lusting over some decked C1 and C2's I saw that may come up for ...

What stick to buy from where
I'm an old school retread who is getting back into solo/tandem canoeing after 20+ years off kayaking and doing other things, like horses and airplanes. I have a 1972 Mad River Endurall which I was comfortable with up to section IV of the Chattooga and a 1995 Mad River Howler which is my latest ...
