i have a 17 ft grumman whitewater model canoe from the early 1970's that i have decided to rig for fly fishing. i have studied and agonized over the anchor system article for quite some time, just as joe mentioned doing in his process of inventing the system. i have aluminum decks fore and aft on my canoe and can't access the inderside to attach u-bolts for fairleads but think i can overcome that obstacle. my primary question for joe and or rick is this: i transported my canoe cartop in the inverted position way back then and assume you do likewise. if you do indeed transport your canoe inverted, what do you do with the anchors during transport and how do you avoid damaging your camcleats ans u-bolts and all that protruding stuff while racking and unracking????
