A kayak and canoe refloating device includes a flotation mat and at least
two tethers configured for flexible attachment on one end to the flotation
mat and on the other end to the side of the kayak and canoe. The flotation
mat has a plurality of baffles and a length, width and depth when inflated
sufficient to support a major portion of a water-filled kayak or a canoe
when rolled into an upside down position onto the flotation mat for
draining the kayak or canoe.
