Yokes provide strength and rigidity at the canoe's mid-point. Wide yokes allow for a more comfortable portage, since the additional width distributes weight more evenly on the neck and shoulders.
Choosing the 42” Wide Yoke adds $1.00 to the price.

I have 12' Old Time - Stillwater for fishing. It is short and fat, but very stable. After years of service, the yoke broke at the point where it was drilled and fastened.
Since my canoe is short and fat, finding a yoke to fit in its 42" beam was somewhat of an internet search. But, this fit exactly. All I needed to do was clamp it in place and drill the holes for the fasteners.
I am very pleased with the quality and the quick service.

It's exactly what we were expecting.

Straight grained. Not afraid of this one coming apart. Long enough to trim for my wide canoe.
