Invisible rope!
This one used up the last of my invisible rope.

Jim, what kind of canoe is that? Nice colors.
From my experience, polypropylene invisible rope is preferable to nylon invisible rope because it doesn't stretch when wet.
It was built by Island Falls Canoe Company/Jerry Stelmok it is his 18’6” Wilderness Guide Model.
A very nice canoe. This one was leaking and I had to recanvas the hull. Here are some before pics.
Well one before while it was still on the car. The others are after I was finished with the varnishing and recaning. That rear half round seat was a real test of my patience, mostly because there was no good way to hold it.

I had a whole coil of that invisible rope, but I can't find it.

I helped move some canoes from storage to the New Hampshire Boat Museum last week so they can start building their new exhibit of courting canoes. The maroon Robertson and green Morris are a great start.

Benson, are those your canoes; and if not, whose? Also, since I know nothing about vehicles after my 1969 Dodge Charger, what kind of car is that?
Ahhh when the Outback had a real roof rack!
I find myself perusing this thread again because the Chevy turned over 150,000 miles and was developing “character”. Traded it in on a new 4Runner. My old Thule bars fit the roof rails; this rack has been on an ‘05 Subaru and as needed on our Sienna(s). But my goodness does it howl.

No, the canoes were donated to the New Hampshire Boat Museum by various other individuals. I was just helping move them. The car is a 2013 Volvo C30 Polestar Edition which does belong to me. Let me know if this doesn't answer your questions,

I see that there are not only invisible rope - there are also cars with invisible canoes on the roof.
very practical that is.

Haha, indeed! Back when it came with a 5-speed, too
That's to be expected, Kahel, because the vast majority of our members are invisible people who never start threads or even post.
Good for transporting canoe forms as well!

I very much hope to correct that this weekend.
This is why I am a Crosstrek person!!
