Any mathematicians on the board? I'm wondering the distance needed to turn a 500-foot canoe with medium rocker 90 degrees. How about a 1000-foot canoe?

What strokes are you going to turn. You can spin a canoe with forward and reverse strokes.

If not spinning then it also will depend on how fast you are going.
