ABSTRACT:
A device to hold a canoe paddle in vertical position at either end of a canoe and having its blade submerged to serve as a keel to stabilize the otherwise tipsy craft and to greatly facilitate maneuverability by maintaining direction specially under windy conditions. The holder includes a bridge-like support bracket supporting an axially-rotatable transverse shaft extending outwardly over one side of the canoe. The outer end of the shaft carries a clamp to hold the upper shaft portion of the paddle. A resilient rotation stop is provided with the support bracket, so that the paddle blade rotatably yields when it strikes an under-water obstacle. Also, the paddle may be releasably locked in a non-use position parallel to the canoe gunwale.
