TAILIEUCHUNG - THE WORLD'S FASTEST CANOE

When turning, take your inside hand (. if turning right, use your right hand) and bring it over toward your outside hand, but not past the 12 o’clock position. Start the turn by pulling the wheel with your inside hand while letting it slip through your outside hand. With your hands almost straight across from one another, regrip the wheel with your outside hand and push the wheel through your inside hand. The end result should be that neither hand should go past the top of the steering wheel at any time for maximum car control | Fred Marriott at the wheel of the Stanley race car. The car s body was manufactured by The Robertson Canoe Company of Newton Massachusetts. The photograph was originally published in Scientific American. The World s Fastest Canoe by Erik Sobel Fred Marriott squeezed the throttle and held on for dear life as he hurtled across the Florida sand.

It bears the name Newtron and sits forgotten on the right-hand side of the Massachusetts Turnpike as one approaches Boston just after passing over Route 128. The J. R. Robertson factory is a tribute to the astonishing strength durability and aerodynamic design of the classic wood and canvas canoe. It is not without irony that the records set by this particular canoe helped to ignite America s passion for speed and for the automobile factors which hastened the canoe s decline as the nation s most popular recreational vehicle. The tale of the fastest canoe on earth is a story of two ingenious turn-of-the-century engineers and their intrepid driver. The two brothers were F. E. and F. O. Stanley of the Stanley Steamer fame. The Stanley twins were quirky and brilliant mechanical engineers. By the time of Fred Marriott s record-setting run they had several inventions under their belts ranging from violins to photographic plate technology. They sold the latter to George Eastman and with the proceeds established the Stanley Motor Carriage Company of Newton Massachusetts. Despite their reserved almost puritanical conservatism the brothers were eager to demonstrate to the world the superiority of their steam-powered horseless carriage. Prior to
