My suggestions are 1) use a bungee cord and make sure it is nice and tight, 2) try moving the cart in relation to the canoe to find a better balancing point, or 3) point the handle into the canoe and let the cart tip a little until the handle wedges against the canoe and acts as a third contact ...

October 1, 2020 - Using my metal-cutting bandsaw, I cut the lengths of tubing that will make up the triangular shape of the canoe carrier. The math here is pretty important. The sides had to be wide enough to span the thwarts and tall enough for the canoe to move freely on uneven terrain.
