1. Obliquely over or across: lay the paddle Aslant the gunwales

2. New Breasthook of African Mahogany provides a nice contrast to the Fir gunwales

3. This single-piece Breasthook is fastened under the gunwales making it much easier to fit

4. We pulled out a small tarp and tied two of its corners to paddle handles and the other corners to my husband’s feet, which he stretched out over the gunwales of the canoe.
