Just got my first canoe. Now, I'm trying to figure out how to store it. I
would like to hang it in my garage. Any suggestions on how to do this or
places where I could get the info I need? Thanks for any help. Gerry

Upside down. divide the length into 4 and place a rope 1/4 in from each end.
You may be able to secure the front rope permanently and use a hook bolt on
one side at the other.
Put eye bolts into your carport or garages joists. If security is an issue,
get a chain that you cannot cut with bold cutters and drill a large enough
hole through the centre of the joist to pass it through.

Check out the Harken "Hoister" at this site:
http://www.harken.com/default.php
They have several kits for different lift weights. All that is needed
besides what is included in the kit is perhaps a couple of 2x6's. It is, of
course, possible to buy the pulleys and other hardware to put something like
this together from scratch but you could easily spend what the kit costs on
arate parts.
One caution if you do purchase one of these: The instructions are all geared
toward being able to lower the boat from garage rafters to the roof of your
car. If that is what you want to do great! If not, you will have to modify
the instructions somewhat to suit your needs.

I store mine a little differently. I nailed a 2x4 across the corner
and made a triangle that hinges on the wall. I carry the canoe in
shove one end up in the corner then lift up the other end with a broom
handle and swing the rear support out. Makes getting the canoe out and
putting it away really fast

An interesting thought. I'm not sure it will work for me, but it's
something to think about. Gerry
