Thanks - so I guess someone using other solo boats of similar width also would work.Since the maximum hull width of a Peregrine is 28.5", the question could be generalized to any canoe of approximately that width. Keep in mind, the optimum width for a double paddle also depends upon the torso height and arm length of the paddler, and also upon whether the paddler likes to use a low angle stroke (longer paddle) or a high angle stroke (shorter paddle).
Thanks - I believe variety is the spice of life so like trying different paddles when I can. Don't even ask about fly rods.Low angle here, 160 cm min and 170 cm if you can get it .... anything over 150 cm is hard to find, but if you can find them, try them and you won't look back.
There was some hearsay last year about double blades requiring a flower shirt and a beach umbrella in the canoe ... but I can confidently say that this is false .... I much prefer Mikes words about the naysayers to DDB (DamDoubleBlades) ... that they hard much harder to hear as you ull away.

I have NEVER seen a paddle in that length range! Are you in the dwarf world?Low angle here, 160 cm min and 170 cm if you can get it .... anything over 150 cm is hard to find, but if you can find them, try them and you won't look back.
