I've been following this thread on doubles as "divorce boats" and have some experience, after many shouting matches in a canoe w/ my wonderful wife. In my opinion one of the key differences between a canoe and a double kayak would be the rudder. This device has removed most of my dependence on the bow paddler (whoever that may be) to help point us in the correct direction and has allowed us to paddle in sync more or less and enjoy the sights instead of screaming "left" or "right" at each other. I'm sure with practice and patience any team will get to know how to handle things on the water but the learning curve seemed pretty nasty to us!
