I’ve worked on this problem a number of years ago and could never have thought of such a workable and well designed system. Congratulations on your success. There’s a lot of r and D involved there.
To backup your statement, when Russians came to Alaska they were impressed with native paddlers with powerful arms and shoulders. When they were seen on shore, however, their legs were short and quite small. The same physical features exist on Alaskan natives today.
Nice design. At 0:37 you state that your speed through the water is 5 or 6 mph. Question #1 How do you measure that speed? Just prior to that at about 0:32, your video shows you passing close to green buoy "23" in 3 seconds. 18 feet (boat length) in 3 seconds is roughly 3.7 mph. The nautical charts state that currents of 1 mph can be experienced off the town of Warren, which appears to be close to marker 23. I wasn't there to measure it, but it looks like buoy 23 could be tilted over from a 1 knot current. The reason I ask is that ½ mph is fantastic increase in speed for me. I can row all day long at 4 mph, but after 5 miles at 4½ mph, I am wasted. Question #2: Do you know if anyone has installed a forward rower in a Little River Marine Heritage 18? I post a lot of my rowing on TH-cam and I give a full GPS analysis of my rowing performance. Of course, rowing on a lake with no current makes it easy to analyze. GPS speed is your speed through the water. th-cam.com/video/DDruKmrLZXA/w-d-xo.html
Ron offers the rower and several boats as separate purchases. You can easily put the rower in many (most?) canoes, see his website for details. Frontrower.com.

Wow! Your engineering skills are unbelievable! Thank you for your design work!!
The most informative video yet.
Way to go ! congratulations . What a great idea .
Really like the boat design too .what a great boat to sell as a kit .
fantastic system, I have a bad back and arthritic knees, but I think I could manage your system.
I have to say- this is great!
...Brilliant engineering...! Well done.

Very interesting engineering creativity. Good problem solving.
Great design, good looking. No bobbing bow either.
Nice design.

How so you contact you or order
Where to buy?
Fantastic
Does the mechanism feather the oars automatically or does the tower feather the oar? I hope I make sense.
The mechanism feathers the oars automatically.
Have you marketed this canoe as a whole, or independently as rowing stations?

INGENIUS!

Whats with the Cajun Music? LOL
