Thanks Scotty, Yeah, it's hard to say what caused the pain since I also mowed the grass that day, which always gives me trouble. And you're right, pushing is what causes the problem. This Cheap Canoe was boat #2, I built a Steve Lewis LilJon first, and glued up the butt joints today on a Michalak Vamp. This stuff'll eat your brain! Rick "Backyard Renegade" wrote in message om... "Richard Cunningham" wrote in message I do think the 7' paddle in the plans would be too short though. Granted, I increased the beam by 2", but my paddle is 90" and I could use another foot. Unfortunately, using a double paddle has aggravated a shoulder impingement I've been fighting for a while (rowing doesn't bother it), so I don't know how much I'll be using the boat myself-- but it's a fun and fairly quick build and is fun to use. Using a 90 inch paddle with what is probably a wide grip is what disturbed the shoulder. Even if you feel strong enough to "push" the paddle at that length, your shoulder joint (assume you are a human) is probably not designed for that much leverage, at that angle... Get to the paddling groups, or just take my word for it for now. Hope you did not *!@! your shoulder to bad. Nice boat by the way, good luck with your next build... and there will be one...
