It came to me that the tug of war has little or nothing to do with speed. It may have more to do with mass i.e. the mass of water moved by the Mirage versus the mass of water moved by the paddle. The mirage power unit certainly is clever and interesting. The picture of the tug-of-war suggested a lot of slippage in the paddles suggesting that larger paddles might have produced a different result.
