Sprint Canoe
Sprint Canoe
"A sprint canoe is a canoe used in International Canoe Federation canoe sprint. It is an open boat propelled by one, two or four paddlers from a kneeling position, using single-bladed paddles".
See how narrow this C-1, a one man canoe is. Apparently, the narrower it is the faster it can go. Narrower also makes balancing more difficult.
