Yokes provide strength and rigidity at the canoe's mid-point. They also make it easier to portage. This yoke measures 13/16" (thickness) x 2-3/4" (ends).
Yokes provide strength and rigidity at the canoe's mid-point. Wide yokes allow for a more comfortable portage, since the additional width distributes weight more evenly on the neck and shoulders.
Attractive and durable. Used bare, this is a fine yoke for infrequent, short portages. For tougher portages, add pads. Satin varnish. 1 1/2 lbs. (Requires mounting hardware.)
The elegance of a traditional yoke made the Wenonah way! Our new carbon-composite yoke is the ultimate finishing touch for your composite canoe. Yoke pads are not needed or recommended because of the comfortable shoulder hugging shape of this sculptured composite yoke.
Universal yokes are slotted and include clamps to mount on the canoe gunnel. This enables the yoke to be removed when not in use. It is padded, making it more comfortable on the neck and shoulders. Its width is 2-3/8". Hardware and pad included.
The Harmony Contoured Yoke Pad is made from closed cell minicell foam that is dense and resilient and supports the weight of the canoe well. The contoured shape provides stability when going up or down hill and moves the bulk of the canoe weight onto your shoulders for greater comfort. Peel and stick adhesive attaches easily to conventional flat wood yokes.
Superior Portage Pads (Standard) have aluminum fasteners that attach easily around your yoke with wing-nuts. The pads have a sound plywood bottom and the foam pad is encased in durable, weather-resistant black cordura.
