Thwart

Description

Available in ash, black cherry, butternut, and walnut – 32″ or 34″ long

Kit Contains:

• Thwart
• Silicon Bronze Carriage Bolt 3/16 X 2″ (4)
• Silicon Bronze Hex Nuts 10-24 (4)
• Silicon Bronze Flat Washers #10 (4)

The thwarts MUST be mounted at the BALANCE POINT of the canoe (which is not the center-although close!)

A builder might, at a future date, decide to change the thwart for a carrying yoke; this will prove easy as our center thwarts and yokes have the same end profile so are interchangeable.

Canoes LONGER than 16′-consider a narrow second thwart 5″ approximately aft of the bow seat – see image of the Nomad. The narrow thwart must be installed BEFORE balancing the canoe and installing the centre yoke or thwart.
