Wooden canoes are very heavy. If you actually want to get the thing in and out of the water, you're probably better off with fibreglass, kevlar or carbon fibre, which are much more common these days anyhow.
Thanks for the advise mlcm. I only have a small hatchback; not something that would be suitable for a big canoe on-top although I might squeeze an inflatable in the back.
Maybe it's time I put my masterplan into action and bought that old Landy I've always hankered after. It's just a question of persauding Mrs G. Perhaps if I pretend I'm after a rusty old sports car she'll be relieved when I settle for the Land Rover.
