ABSTRACT:
A carrying case for canoe that will hold supplies under watertight conditions, will not be dislodged from the canoe should it be overturned or subject to other violent exterior conditions, and will aid in flotation in subsequent righting, should the canoe be overturned. The case is configured to straddle the center thwart. It is waterproof and airtight. It has a plurality of securing latches which detachably grip the gunnels of the canoe. The cover extends four to five inches above the canoe lip to significantly increase the water displacement should the canoe be overturned, thus improving the flotation characteristics of the canoe and improving the user's ability to right the canoe with a small volume of water remaining within the hull.
