Canoe Trim
By Stacy @ 9:13 AM :: 424 Views ::
0 Comments :: Technique
|
|
Trim is the leveling of the
canoe. When in the canoe you should be in the center of the canoe. You
don't want one end higher than the other. Solo canoes don't like wind.
If one end is higher than the other the wind will move the canoe around
a lot more. Making it harder to control. Some canoes have a slidding
seat to adjust trim. Others have a fixed seat.
