Two canoeists in identical canoes exert the same effort paddling ? and hence maintain the same speed relative to the water. One paddles directly upstream (and moves upstream), whereas the other paddles directly downstream. With downstream as the positive direction, an observer on shore determines the velocities of the two canoes to be -1.2 m/s and +2.9 m/s, respectively. (a) What is the speed of the water relative to shore? m/s (b) What is the speed of each canoe relative to the water? m/s
Are canoes capable of sea touring? I am thinking of taking up canoeing. However, being open boats are they capable of going on the sea safely? I know that kayaks (closed) are great for sea touring - but wasn't sure from what I've read so far whether the same applies to canoes. Generally what are the pros and cons of canoes versus kayaks? Many thanks.
Will Two Canoes Make A Good Katamaran? I am building a commuter boat with two engines for cruising across a large harbour (5 miles wide). To make my first prototype, I was thinking about buying two identical canoes, connecting them with a platform, keep about 1m of space between them, and put two seats onto the platform. Speed would be about 10 knots max, and the water quite still (harbour). The boat's upper body will be a tent tarp over fibreglass rods, like an igloo tent. Will that cruise and maneuver OK, or am I going to be in trouble? Thanks.
Are Pelican canoes a good buy? I need to know if they are protected against extreme sun exposure and if there is anything I should look for before purchasing one.
What kind of canoe do I need for river with rapids? I'm going on a trip this year and am needing a canoe to use on the White River. I hear that there are some pretty good rapids on this river so I'm needing a canoe that can withstand this type of stress. Can anyone suggest what kind of canoe I should buy, length and cost of this particular type of canoe ? I have roughly $400 to spend total. I would also be interested in how to obtain a canoe for this price. I have friends that tell me to try canoe rentals for their used and out of service canoes. Is this a good idea ? Thanks a bunch.
Do you like riding outrigger canoes/boats? Doesn't it make you seek? Or do you feel like you are so relaxed and grateful for the water on the river Erratum: Doesn't it make you sick? Errr seek a bottle of pills so you won't feel sick (Ewwww)
How does a "foam roof pad" for carrying a canoe work? I want to hire a canoe when I go camping next week, and the website says they offer: "Dwellingup Adventures provide thick foam pads that allow most cars to carry one canoe. Carrying of the canoes is entirly at the vehicle owners risk." I emailed them about it, but they didn't answer my question, they just gave me delivery costs (which are really quite expensive), so I was wondering if anyone has ever encountered a similar kind of "foam pad" for carrying canoes? How do they work, and can they be used on a normal sedan car? So how do you keep the canoe on there? What do you tie it to? (wow, I feel stupid now, but I seriously dont get how you can just *tie* it on the car) So how do you keep the canoe on there? What do you tie it to?

is it possible to sleep in a canoe on an extended trip? not a kayak obviously, but one of those roomier, open canadian type touring canoes? At 17ft long and 38" wide it ought to be possible to sleep in it overnight. But you would need some kind of cover. Does anyone know if this is done?
Find the magnitude of the velocity of the canoe relative to the river? A canoe has a velocity of 0.340 m/s southeast relative to the earth. The canoe is on a river that is flowing 0.570 m/s east relative to the earth. Find the direction of the velocity of the canoe relative to the river. Express your answer as an angle measured south of west. Can't seem to get the answer correctly.
If I want to ship, say a big canoe (25 kg), from the States to the UK what is the best way to go about? Most companies, selling canoes and small boats, in the States only ship in the States. Thus I need to organise a personal shipment; and that is my problem. The canoe I want to buy is manufactured in Germany, exported to the States and sold for, depending on the exchange rate, for more-or-less 2 times cheaper than in the UK… beats me how it’s done but its true! If I spend £400 (which is pretty much) on shipment it will still be cheaper to do so than to buy it in the UK! It’s crazy!

What is the best place for an overnight canoe trip in central VA? I want to go on a one night canoe trip. I have done a few sections of the James, my favorite is the Balcony Falls run. If I did this section again, would it be better to start above it, or go past it in order to make the total trip about 25 miles? If you have another suggestion, I am more than open to it.
How do I get my blanket to stop "canoeing"? I just recently picked up crocheting to make my first born a baby blanket. However the blanket is starting to "canoe". It is starting to frustrate me and I want to pull the whole blanket apart.
What should i bring when canoeing down the river and camping there for the weekend? I want to go camping down the Peace River in Florida for the weekend but I'm not sure what I would need to bring because my friends and I would be canoeing most of the way. So I have to be careful about getting our stuff wet. Is there any advice on what items to bring and how not to get everything wet (although it'll probably happen because you're in water lol).
