Best way to speed up the canoe's bottom is to reduce its friction and drag by reducing the immersed bottom size.
Best way to do that is to reduce the size of the paddler's bottom.
So a paddler should lose 20% of body weight, use carbon paddles, and get a bow partner who is a Dior lingerie model. It will also help if she can filter silty water using the wet t-shirt method while polishing your bottom.
