Canoe Slinging

Now thats funny!

:huh:
If possible, put one canoe over turned into another, may want to place some 2x4 across the rails wrapped in foam or bubble wrap, use a couple of HERC straps to keep em together. I would get the largest net in stores and wrap it around the two canoes and secure it with HERC straps, as someone else said the net breaks up the air flow. You could use the rings in the net to hook on to and don't forget a good swivel, the tree thing would also be a nice addition.

LONG LINE OF COURSE
????????



....... or get a S-61 and strap the SOB's to the belly, one at a time of course 😛

If the wind is calm and the load is light, be careful your downwash may blow your load around. I've had it happen to me with Zodiaks in a net. Oh ya that was at the end of a long line too.

Be careful, and take it slow.

get the biggest damn net possible or join a couple of nets together......50-60 foot line...hook another net to the bottom of the big net on a 10' line....boats are lots of fun...I slung a 15' aluminum boat one time...173 miles...had to put out fuel halfway ...had a net hooked to the front end and double hooked the longline on the back...flew at 70 miles per....had a hell of a tail wind or couldn't have made it, still took forever...I also use the net with a net method to sling microwave dishes now you think a canoe will fly on you try one of those babies without a net and you can kiss that load gone... 🙄

Got to go with 412driver, put it in the back seat of "huey" and off You go.

:elvis: :elvis: :elvis:

I'd have to go with Needles Split on this one.....that's exactly how I envisioned it. I assume they are replica voyageur boats....that is not made of birchbark. If they are...run, don't walk run away!!!! 😀

Nice pic 412driver...

How does it fly in an auto?

 

[reddog]

If you decide to put them in a net weighted down with gear. Be careful, they will fold up like a Donair when you attempt to lift the net. Been there, done that!

 

[412driver]

wouldn't know............. 😛

 

[Banoy]

Like sh1te...No airflow

 

[downwash]

Gotta go with 'Huey Lover' (maybe because I'm one, too?), and you guys that want to do it internally, you've got nine feet sticking out each side, and wouldn't you still have to hover all the way to avoiding breaking their backs? No thanks - she's for the 120' synthetic longline, netted, sideways bottom first, Christmas tree rudder (maybe try one at each end?). Ah, hell, it's your turn anyway. B)

I would use 100 or more feet of line and if the canoes look strong enough maybe tie a couple end to end with a spruce tree tail dragging... I bet it would fly nice. Just be careful and make two or more trips if you have to. I would be very tempted to just tie all four together end to end but I would definitely be wary of the strength of the attach points. I know that if you attach an alluminum boat at the bow to a longline then center a tree tail to the back it flies great. I have also flown a similar boat with a seismic carousel by attaching one short lanyard to the bow then two longer ones off the back corners, most importantly i centered a weighted seismic bag to the back to act as a tail and the thing flew beautifully. 😉

Hey Deep Six you sending them to the competition cause your 212 cannot lift them and they have 205's or you forgot how to longline and tried bellie hookin' the lot? 😛

 

[Deep Six]

Hey Veltical Ref I was just "clowning around" or is that still a sore topic on this site.
Anyways the best thing to put on a long line is a drill, a log or a bucket. I'll let the next guy go for the canoe. The only thing i want to do with a canoe involves a cold beer and a fishing pole.

 

[Deep Six]

Sorry about the last reply Vertical Ref. I guess my spelling is no better than my long line work.
