I just measured my Old Town double bladed take-apart canoe paddle and it
measured a half inch over nine feet. I use to use it
during my early paddling years back in the late sixties and early
seventies. It worked fine on lakes as long as there was no cross
winds. As my canoeing skills improved the double bladed paddle was much
less used. I haven't used it in at least twenty years now.
I have no idea whether Old Town still makes them.
