That isn't a reflection of how I fin. A much closer analogy would be sculling the boat with a single oar from the stern. In that case, a vented flexible blade and a shaft with a bit of flex may indeed be more efficient. The problem with that setup is the need for a different rigidity for different loading in the boat. I would imagine that there would be a change needed for different speeds as well. >Test results can be made to say anything, especially when trying to sell >something. Absolutely. Since I'm not taking the plunge until the entanglement issue is solved, I'm firmly parked in my ringside seat for the time being.
