ABSTRACT:
A self-stowing canoe transporting apparatus which enables manual transport of a canoe over rough terrain in an upright position. The transporting apparatus includes a dual-wheeled dolly with a cradle having contoured constrained abutment portions which support the aft bottom or keel of a canoe. The transporting apparatus is attachable to the canoe without drilling, welding, use of adhesives, or any form of modification of the canoe. The dolly is pivotally attached at the stern of the canoe enabling rotational motion of the dolly to an aft deck stowage position during use of the canoe on the water. In portaging, the cradle rotates under the canoe, and secure engagement of the cradle with the canoe aft bottom or keel is accomplished with tensioning straps.
