Thanks for the info on 3-seat canoes. Sounds like they are not that uncommon, I once had, on loan, a 15' Dagger Reflection with three...

Swift calls it a three-person canoe. I’ve seen three-seat canoes before, but always thought them tandem canoes with a middle seat for...

I have a Bending Branches 260 double blade I got to use canoeing. It weights 2 lbs, 9 oz. I only found it useful in headwinds, and...
