Hi,
I can't see how it could be possible but my wife is really keen to combine our open canoe adventures with a return in the evening to our Autosleeper hightop. Tbh, it would be a great combination.
I thought I'd put it out there to see if anyone has managed this. Our hightop has built in mini rack at the back which I think I could fit a Thule style cross bar, however the front end slopes away steeply.
If anyone has been successful, or had disaster trying I would be keen to know.
We don't want to buy another canoe (i.e. inflatable, or kayaks) and canoe is too heavy to side mount.
Thank you,
Mark

Re: Open canoe on hightop
Hi, even if you could mount roof bars up there it's an awful long way to try and get a Canadian up there unless you've a really flashy light weight one.
If you really want to persevere with an open boat (I don't blame you I love Canadian canoes) perhaps a trailer might be your best bet. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
Try song of the paddle forum they might have some suggestions.
