I thought that canoe was loaded on a vehicle behind the Subaru! Til I read 13’ 😁

This our new Swift Prospector 13 solo on our Subaru Crosstrek. This is the first time I've had the canoe out since I picked it up over...

When I bought my carbon innegra crusier from Bill last year, I told him would like to use an existing wood yoke width already sized that...

It seems like the European market is mostly centered around Royalex and T-Formex canoes without a lot of lightweight composites. At at...

No worries, I wasn't offended. I was going to explain in my earlier post but didn't. I guess I didn't explain well enough that the bolt...
