Rusty, I was useing an 8 1/2 ft aluminum oar with the plastic paddle. Not a good choice for sculling oar. Doug "Seas the Day" --- Rusty Knorr <mazemusic@yahoo.com> wrote:
Thanks, Doug and everyone for all the "alternative sources of power" discussions. I am glad that others out there are experimenting and sharing that knowledge. I had a hard time with just a single canoe paddle, not because the boat wouldn't move but because she wouldn't track straight. As Doug says, the rudder pressure for correction is severe. Must be the short waterline. Now I am more interested in the sculling oar idea. What kind of oar were you using, Doug?
