I made this cherry yoke for a Prospector 14 that I recently sold. The thumb bolts are 27” O/C. If you can use it let me know. Price is negotiable.

Swift Detachable Yoke

I have a Swift Prospector 14. How does this attach? I have the kevlar gunwalls.
There should be some metal inlaid threaded receptacles on the gunwales right in front of the seat.
Not there in early production. They had a clamp on but to get it to grip they put a heavy textured tape on it. All confirmed with Bill Swift. It works ok. I have the carbon fiber yoke.
It’s not my favorite thing. I left my yoke on on my cartop and loosened the bushings. Was able to tighten them back up, but it’s something you don’t want to do. You also don’t want to lift the canoe with the yoke for the same reason. My Northstar has the carbon fiber gunwales but is contoured to accept a standard NS portage yoke. This yoke works well but the inserts just aren’t bulletproof.
