Check out this video for a dubious demonstration of double oars. It doesn't seem to work any better today than it did the first time. Of course, Powell lined most of the rapids, which proves to be sensible. The single oar boat of the 3 always seems to have the best run. The double oar boat always goes into the biggest hole, right thru the wave stack out, and full to the gunnels afterward.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sye1QspepfI"><span style='color:blue'>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sye1QspepfI</span></a><br><br>On Jan 13, 2014, at 21:25, Thomas Rampton wrote:<br><br>> I set up a 15' raft with double oars once, but it didn't work very well.
