I want to use two 10' PVC pipes to slide a 41-pound canoe up to car racks. What is the smallest diameter PVC pipe that would be rigid and not break when the canoe is at the midpoint of the pipes?

It is highly unlikely that a PVC pipe will break under such a load; however, it will bend significantly. To avoid this, you can also check out metal fencing pipes that they use to put along the top of chain link. Find the diameter of PVC into which the metal pipe will fit, and use the metal pipe to add strength and rigidity to the PVC. The outer PVC will protect your canoe from scratches.
