30
Q

________ boats are faster and move on a straight line, they can also can carry more people. however, these are not easy to maneuver

A

Longer boats

31

these are more comfortable to maneuver and comparitively lighter and easier to handle

A

Shorter boats

32
Q

these boats are best when touring and cruising the open water. A shorter kayak would be a better choice for smaller lakes and rivers.

A

Longer boats

33

3 kinds of bottom shape

A
  • Flat
  • Round
  • Vee
35
Q

this part of the boat has abig influence on the stability of the boat.

A

The Bottom shape of the boat

36
Q

this design has good stability in calm waters, However, the characteristics of this boat provide the easy turning (boat spin) in rougher water such as white waters

A

Flat

37
Q

this is designed for speed and efficiency. One may feel a little shaky when one steps in it. However, with experience, one will feel that a round shape will give teh stability in most waters, and it is easier to propel through the water. the trade-off, however, is balancing the oat in an uproght position.

A

Round

38
Q

this boat is in between the flat and round bottom design boats, thus with practice, it comes with a good all-around performance

A

Vee

39
Q

it is the width of the boat and is measured at the widest part of the canoe or kayak

A

Beam

40
Q

the wider the boat is the more ——— it is

A

stable

41
Q

a narrower kayak or canoe may be faster but ——-

A

less stable

42
Q

3 kinds of profile or sides od a boat

A
  • Tumblehome Design
  • Flared sides
  • Straight sides
43
Q

the sides of the boat curve inward as they come up, which makes the beam narrower on the deck, this allows the paddler to reach the water easily while at the same time has the stability of a wider and kayak

A

Tumblehome Design

44
Q

it is when the sides curve outward (flares out) making the beam wider. Thus, as it goes depper in the water (cargo weight becomes heavier), the bea, becomes wider, giving a more stable feeling

A

Flared sides

45
Q

it is when a little bit of the two

A

Straight Sides

46
Q

are the equipment used to maneuver the boat. Single-bladed paddles are usually used for canoes, and double- bladed paddles are for a kayak.

Paddles

47
Q

A

nose

52
Q

3 kinds of paddles

A
  • wider paddles
  • narrower blades
  • curved blades
53
Q

●give you more acceleration but must also deal with more resistance.

A

Wider blades

54
Q

●use less effort per stroke but require more strokes.

Narrower blades

55
Q

increase the power of each stroke.

A

Curved blades
