I use a 245 cm Werner Little Dipper and my wife uses a 225 cm. Little Dipper. These are a little short for low-angle and a little long for high angle, but they work in both. They have zero and 60 degree offsets, but we decided to use them unfeathered because of the narrowness of the blades and to further minimize chance of strain. I figured that a 60 degree offset only reduces wind resistance by 50% (sine of 60 degrees), so why bother when the blade is so narrow.
