ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for attaching vertically oriented support legs (10) to the inner walls or sides of a canoe or small carriable boat so that the canoe or boat may be inverted and positioned at an angle high enough above the ground to allow a lone person to step under the carrying yoke (12) or center seat and more easily lift the vessel to a portage position. Support legs (10) may be removed or pivoted out of the way for portaging through brush or over rough terrain. The apparatus also allows a canoe to be stored off the ground in a position which provides emergency shelter or a support frame for draping a tarpaulin and achieving more complete shelter.
