Single blade canoe can keep up with a kayak and pass, see it every year in recreational races here in Michigan. Put skirts and float bags on a canoe - it can handle anything a kayak has thrown at it, wind, waves, etc. http://www.examiner.com/images/blog/replicate/EXID23194/images/Canoe_With_Skirts%281%29.jpg Skill of the paddler is another story........
