>What do Paddlewiser's think? Do you have any other speculations as to why a
two time Olympic gold medal winner lost the tug of war to the flipper boat
or what would happen in an identical hull race?<

The problem is simple: the kayak needs to be paddled by a _Canadian_ Olympic
medal winner, try Adam van Koeverden. :-)

we?).
