Singles vs doubles

Doubles share effort and cargo across two paddlers — helpful for pairs, mixed-experience groups, and anyone wanting tandem stability for the open crossings into the Broken Group. Singles trade that shared effort for independent handling and the freedom to set your own line.

Best for
  • • Pairs paddling together
  • • Mixed-experience groups
  • • Sharing cargo across two hatches
Not ideal for
  • • Paddlers needing independent handling
  • • Groups without coordinated communication
  • • Solo paddlers
Readiness: Tandem boats reward coordinated paddling and clear group leadership. See Safety & Readiness.
