Been a long while since I took a science class, but if the wind is flowing OVER that canoe cover, doesn't it exert some downward force to give some added stability in choppy water?


If you mean like an airplane wing (Bernoulli effect?) It would lift I think, not force down.  I doubt it's significant either way.

It's always been the portage issue that has kept me from considering skirts.
