I'm the "dipper" vs "paddler" (puller) guy, so I'll respond to that part only: Typical speeds for doubles: 4.0 knots cruise, probably, although if only one is dipping, I bet the speed is more like 3.0 knots. None of these speeds is measured, only estimated from my effort expended alongside in my single hardshell. Most of the dipping I witnessed was in massive, heavily loaded Easy Rider decked canoes, more fleet than I would have expected.
