Paddlewisers,

All this talk about hull speed, paddles, and strokes reminds me of a story. Around a campfire at a symposium years ago, I heard a BCU coach, who had a few drinks and just found out was instructing a forward stroke class the next day, say with disdain, "If you want to go faster, paddle harder!" There is some truth to that.
