Got me a deep dish carrying yoke from Dave Crooks at Endless River, not cheap but if you carry your boat on your shoulders like me it is a well worth addition.
Oh and it looks sweeeeeeet.


Far more comfortable than the standard yokes.

Now that looks the Dogs B*bleep*ks. Compared to that the one in my boat is just Kelly Fodder. Mike.

Very nice yoke there Tim

Is this time for some yokes?

What do you call a man with a wooden ed?

Ho, ho, ho

Two inuits were sitting in their canoe. Being in the arctic, they were quite cold, and so decided to risk it and light a fire in their canoe. They did so, and immediately sank. This just goes to prove that you can't have our kayak and heat it too.

Looks quite a bit like a Novacraft yoke (but from laminate). Don't have one here to compare. Anyone else think so?

It does look a bit like a Nova Craft yoke just maybe a bit deeper...

After carrying my Chalres river, 32kgs plus the blocks, spare clothes and water etc, in one go from Loch Ness up the lock path to the Caley canal I thought about buying one. But, I wrap my neoprene kneeling mat around the neck yoke, makes a huge difference.

I too have a "deep dish" yoke. Mine is made from cherry. It really is as comfortable as it gets. Even on my boney sholders. I have to angle it a wee bit when resting on my shoulders, but I doubt I could get anything more comfortable. My boat weighs 32kgs + a couple of kilos with the sliding seat and foot brace in place:
