Having 5 canoes I am always looking to simplify things. I purchased a set of STRONGROWTH T track Hold Down Clamps to make yoke clamps at a cost of $20 from Amazon. They lock in really tight. Hope this helps others with yoke issues.

Thanks for the tip, they look solid. I've used T-Track on a lot of woodworking jigs, never thought to expand the usage. Kudos!

Curious what the clamps weigh. Aluminum or steel?

Great idea! Ordering for canoe yoke and workshop.

Easy to make.

billconner , the set weighs 14 1/2 ounces and is made of aluminum. I took my Spring Creek yoke clamps off a yoke and weighed them. They are 12 1/2 ounces and are made of plastic.

I agree, I think these could be easily fabricated.

I had looked at those clamps and wondered how they would work as yoke clamps. Glad to see they do well!
