Thule Canoe Carrier

Thule Canoe Carrier description

The Thule Canoe Carrier is a set of 4 bookend style padded cradles that give your canoe's gunwales a soft place to sit. The included set of ratcheting tie downs makes mounting your canoe up quick and painless. The bookend style system gives superb lateral stability to your boat, though for long trips bow and stern lines like the Quick Draw [THU0029] are necessary. If you're loading a canoe by yourself, the Outrigger [THU0020] makes life much more pleasant.

Bottom Line: Keep your beautiful boat secure in transit.

The shoes not only keep the canoe from shifting, but keep a great reference point for balancing the canoe back on top. The straps that come with the kit are awesome - quick tie down ratchets that work with a single touch. A lot of thought and experience went into the design of this system. If I ever find myself having to tie a boat down the old fashioned way, I'll be sorely disappointed.If you have a canoe, this is money well spent.

I bought these to secure a canoe to my Thule roof rack. It has worked great as there are four supports that latches on the the racks that prevents the canoes from moving. The straps are also multipurpose, so when not using the canoe you can use it for other things to secure onto the roof rack.
