    Web Yoke or Strap Yoke

    That's why Wenenoh came up with that contraption that mounts on the rails and provides some clearance for your head. https://wenonah.com/Items.aspx?id=59 Too bad they are so dang expensive, even on sale!

    Canoe Identification

    Good luck with the reno-job, Dave. These old Canadian made fiberglass canoes often get a bad rap, and the quality has had highs and lows over the years, but the price is usually right. I have a Sportcraft in the fleet for the once or twice a year the Mrs. wants to paddle with me.

    Royalex UV damage

    I bought the Sandpiper for bony streams I frequent in upstate NY; the beauty of RX is that it takes a beating (well, unless weathered) that puts composites in harm's way. I bought it sight unseen, so was unaware of actual condition (sure looked good in the pics!). Sold it to a guy who just...

    Royalex UV damage

    I made the mistake of buying a Wenonah Sandpiper a couple years back that had been stored for decades in the elements. It wasn't so much the aesthetics of the dull chalky vinyl outer skin that concerned me, but the Royalex had lost all of its pliability, in fact it was so hard and brittle one...

    Canoe Identification

    Those cast aluminum deck handles were used by both Great Canadian (HIN prefix ZEF) and Sport Craft (HIN prefix ZAS). Some Sport Craft boats had an Indian head sticker on both sides of the bow, Great Canadian had a Maple Leaf sticker. The Hull Identification Number will tell the tale.

    Swift canoes demo day

    Mountainman used to charge $20 for three test paddles, but I have squeezed out a fourth on a few occasions. Where else can you get access to Wenonah, Swift, Esquif, and Northstar in one place? Only bought one boat from them though, as they store most of the canoes outdoors, exposed to the...

    Blackhawk Zephyr Solo Canoe, $650 in Rochester NY - SOLD

    I had a fella offer me full price on one condition: That I buy it back in the Fall if he does not become accustomed to the Zephyr, for $100 less (assuming the condition has not changed). I've always believed it takes more than a test paddle to get acquainted with a boat, so I accepted. I also...

    Blackhawk Zephyr Solo Canoe, $650 in Rochester NY - SOLD

    I have tried a couple of times to rehome this boat, but was inundated with low-ball offers and scammers on Craigs List and FB Marketplace. This is a fiberglass build in really nice shape for a 1994. It has been compared by some as like a Ladybug or a Wildfire, not sure I agree, but it is a joy...

    Advice on severely long boat lead time.

    I just sold my year-old Trillium at $1000 less than I paid for it, and glad for it. It was hard to overlook some of the manufacturing defects that are inherent to the brand. I know many of you folks aren't Facebook fans, but there is a Bell/Northstar group in which there have been many quality...

    Free Genuine Old Town Rowing Seat

    I've never used it, it came with a canoe I bought, so not much help. It appears to have mounted with straps, but if it were me, I would use clamps like the ones on a removable yoke.

    Western Pennsylvania Solo Canoe Rendezvous 2023

    2019 was a very good event, got to spend time jawing with Dave Yost and Richard Lockwood there to support Colden canoes. I thought it was great that a company like Northstar would take the time to send a small crew and a huge trailer full of solos to support the event, but post pandemic I'm...

    Free Genuine Old Town Rowing Seat

    Not a Freestyle guy, sorry, but if you are interested, I don't live far from Mark Ornstein and if you reach out to him and see if he will bring it up there I can drop it off with him.

    Western Pennsylvania Solo Canoe Rendezvous 2023

    No, they are distributors with a wide variety of boats, not just solos. But you can at least try the boats out as they are on the water. WPSCA is all about solos
