You Ask They Answer

will an aluminum truck topper hold a fiberglass canoe without a rack?

Jul 05, 2009 by bob_bur | Posted in Boats & Boating

I have an old century aluminum truck topper and a 15' fiberglass canoe. Can I carry the canoe on top of the topper without buying a roof rack?


You might want to get canoe pads for the truck. It's 4 dense foam pads the fit on the gunnels and have a non slip pad on the bottom. You still need to tie it down but they are cheap and quick.

UA engineering students use storm recovery as theme for concrete canoe project

31.12.69

TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- A group of University of Alabama engineering students are putting the finishing touches on their boat for a regional concrete canoe competition this weekend.

The event, which is part of the 2012 American Society of Civil Engineers Southeast Student Conference at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, challenges students to design and race canoes made from concrete, aggregates and foam. The winning team will move on to 25th annual ASCE National Concrete Canoe Competition in Reno, Nev. in June.

The 16-student Alabama team began designing the boat in August 2011, choosing to call it "April's Fury" to recognize tornado recovery and rebuilding efforts in Tuscaloosa.

Mary's view from the South

31.12.69

I’m sitting here in the Fairburne (sic) library now, as I have been since 12 o’clock. (it’s past 4 now.) It’s really nice. Alice is mad because they won’t let her go into the adult section.

Everything’s so new here! There’s none of the old houses you see around H.H. (Haddon Heights, N.J.)

The motel we’re staying in is really pretty crummy, but it’s clean except for the possibility of roaches. Anyway, it has a TV and a bed.

The trip down here was good. Dad seemed to fall asleep all the time! We stopped at 3 rest stops on the way down so he could take short naps. I’ve never seen him act that way before. We didn’t have any arguments, though. I really like the picnic area and the lake. I can’t wait until I can take out [Dad’s] canoe.

On the Spot

31.12.69

 

When kayakers ask about sight-fishing for giant Indian River Lagoon spotted seatrout, I generally recommend they stay seated and content themselves with casting to likely lairs such as sand potholes and dropoffs. The sharp-eyed, upward-looking, wary old beasts usually lie buried in the grass or on a pothole edge, and are just too adept at noticing high-profile anglers and the more-pronounced pressure waves that emanate from a vertical fisherman casting from a shaky platform.

Redfish may be another story. They can’t match the camouflage of trout, and frequently reveal their presence with wakes as they hunt on the move, their tails or backs often exposed. Because a red’s mouth and pharyngeal crushers are best suited to catching and crunching crustaceans, attention is focused downward, rather than on approaching surface threats.

Botswana the beautiful

We loved Botswana. It is now on my very short list (Japan, Italy, Botswana) of countries I love not only for their beauty, but also for their high levels of everyday civility - people are generally friendly, quick to smile, even occasionally kind, making everyday interactions a pleasure. Botswana was like that from the moment we stepped on the Air Botswana flight from Jo'burg to Gaborone (pron. Haberonay), where we chatted with a man setting up the capital's new med school (which we were told has a surfeit of "smart, highly qualified" local applicants thanks to Botswana's free, and by all reports good, school system. Remarkable in a country that in the 1960s had about 5% literacy) and a friendly flight attendant who gave us extra biltong. While more dusty than scenic, Gaborone is nonetheless a nice small town/capital (less than 200,000 pop.; whole country is only 1.8 million) with a big university and cluster of government buildings and a shiny new airport being built by the Chinese (who are indeed everywhere). And for those who have read "The No.1 Ladies detective agency" Gaborone is like wandering around Mma Ramostwe's neighbourhood: we walked by Giraffe Crescent, saw Zebra Drive and Tlokweng Rd, which has a school of Automotive repair and the River Walk Mall, where we bough safari wear and snacks for our 2 and 1/2 day drive to Maun. Sadly, we could not find a detective agency in the phonebook. This is Matt...
