I had to move a few canoes for my mate last year:

Still waiting to have a go in the big one though :roll: I did suggest a pub crawl along the Leeds-Liverpool canal :(mad):

There is two ali poles and the sheet is my army poncho. And so lashed together it creates a sail. We had a tail wind so used it to sail along at a rate where we just paddled to keep it going in a straight line.
Can't remember the speed but the GPS was saying that it was better then solely paddaling along.
As you can see in the above piccy i was just using the paddle as a rudder, whilst my fair companion could admire the view.
It was only when the wind got too strong that we took them down as else they would of just thrown us in.

It has been known that whilst on an adventure type holiday in North Wales, that two Canadien Canoes are lashed together and then two people stand on the sides, two people sit at the front on the seats and one to steer (oh and the dog watching) - using a kisu (not sure on the spelling) (emergency tent) as a giant sail - then we powered our way down Llyn Padarn near LLanberis, before having a picnic lunch at the museum and then paddling back across the lake.  It was awesome to see the kind of speeds we were able to achieve!!
