ABSTRACT:
A saddle assembly for use in canoes or similar craft comprising a hollow, watertight rotationally molded structure with a sealable accessible interior compartment, secured to the craft at or near the base surface of the saddle by use of a plurality of anchors adhered to the canoe hull or by use of flexible spring strips which are capable of conforming to the cross sectional shape of virtually any hull and which provide easy removal and installation of the saddle in different positions. The saddle is provided with thigh straps, to help secure the paddler into the craft, which pass over the paddlers thighs, one end of which is attached to the saddle and the other is attached to the hull of the craft. Footbraces which are adjustable longitudinally are affixed along a lower edge of the saddle. The exterior of the saddle is provided with recesses molded in place to hold various common accessories including water bottles, dry storage boxes, and rescue lines so that they are available to the paddler.
