Chuck,

I neglected to answer all of your questions in my previous post. His paddle
was a Euro style either 230 or 240 and I believe he used it feathered.

Both my friend Peter and I use sticks and I don't think either of us
actually checked to see if his was feathered or not. Like you, I prefer
longer paddles. When I used a Euro paddle, my favorite one was a Derek
Hutchinson Toksook and that was a 240 which gave the same shaft size as my
other 230's. My GP's are all 89 inches which I believe is the equivalent of
a 220. cm paddle.

Steve
