The way I understand it, the closer you get to the stems the easier it is to steer. You can help overcome this by using a longer paddle to extend your reach.[/qutoe] Untrue.  The closer to midship you are, the easier it is to steer.  With some canoes this may actually mean every stroke needs some correction.

Here's a little different take on the subject. Joe has a lot too say about many things. He's a dealer for SR, so bear that in mind. He's opinionated for sure, but makes a lot of sense with his arguments, for or against.
