Kudos to the C-TUG people for finally providing us with great cart. I will spread the word.

Comments: To the folks at C-Tug. Just wanted to let you know that you have hit the nail pretty much on the head with your cart. It has now done 50 kms at least with a near full load and there has been no issues. It is incredible! The designer needs to design other stuff because it has made Canoe carts "intelligent". 

 

We have been very impressed with the C-tug. We knew that this section of the coast would bring it's own challenges and one of them is access to campsites. We have endeavoured to camp at established parks and private campgrounds which, as it turns out, are often far from the shore and require us to cart all our equipment up to the site. Even if the park is located on the water it can be quite a trek to the gate house to sign in and then to the campsite to set up! We have been able to use the C-tug to bring our canoe and all of our equipment in 'one shot' up from the water to wherever we need to go. Our longest trips so far have been about 1.5km! This would not have been possible without the C-tug.

I am on the whole very pleased with the C-Tug Trolley, It is very quick to assemble and disassemble, once you have done it a couple of times and it takes only 30 seconds to do! It is easy to attach to the kayak and sticks to the bottom of the kayak like glue. When the Kayak is well positioned the trolley takes nearly all the weight and is very easy to pull,, over the following grounds: 1 tarmac 2 grass 3 wet sand 4 rocks. Comes apart into nice small stowable sections that fit easily in our oval hatch. My over all impression was the C TUG was very good.

Review Two I use a c-tug and like it very much. It fits in the front hatch of my Kodiak on day trips and on the back deck when going further afield. Easy to assemble and break down, doesn't look like there is much that can go wrong with it. Not the smallest but very robust and looks like it will serve me well for a while. Many of the teams on the AR World Championships used them and rated them highly.

Found no problem with the C-tug over quite rough terrain like going down over broken concrete and 12" drops where the old slip has broken up. Stones, rocks, no bother - the clearance is more than I have seen on any other cart - it is deceptive in pictures. I have done a set for comparison of the Eckla and the C-Tug on the same ground - must find out how to put them though, they aren't much good here in my computer! Soft sand I haven't encountered yet - with anything. The ground pressure from the C-tug wheels is less than narrower tires though. Perhaps for soft sand areas it would be worth dropping the air pressure a little, that would give you a bigger footprint again - but increase rolling resistance on hard ground. You can't have it both ways!!

 

I like the look of the c-tug, especially the way the parts reduce to almost no space. It has me thinking of DIY, just not quite so clever!

I've got a c-tug and like it lots, adapts to the shape of all boats, it's very solid I mainly use it for hiking a huge sit-on-top down to the beach in the summer, fully loaded with beach junk for 4. The only thing against it is that once I didn't brush all the sand off the axle when assembling and the nylon axle is now gouged quite noticeably on one side. This was entirely my fault as the instructions do warn about this.

I got lucky, I picked up my 1st Yak (used) last weekend and he thru in one of these. It's great, comes apart or assembles in seconds and doesn't slip off the yak.

Steven. Chatswood CA: In summary, a very clever design and well tought out. Quality of manufacture is good. Well worth the price.
