1998 PADDLING ADAPTER WORLD RANKINGS 1998 brought a marked increase in participation in the Paddling Adapter World Rankings, with indoor paddling races in Alexandria, VA, Honolulu, San Diego, Toronto, New York City, and Waterbury, VT. In 1998 we added an asterisk beside 1000m times of racers who paddled on only one side during their timed piece. Some racers submitted times for both paddling styles, and their names appear twice in the 1000m Sprints Rankings. In addition to the 1,000 meter times, we have results for half-hour paddles. Age and weight breakdowns and information on how to enter your time in the 2002 rankings follow:

Race Categories

How to enter your time / distance for the 2002 Rankings:  The damper on your rower may be set anywhere you choose, but must remain the same for the entire piece. You might want to experiment beforehand to see which setting is the most efficient for you. If you are likely to set a new world record, overall or in your category, have someone watch you paddle and sign your entry as a witness. To enter the 2002 Rankings, you must use a Vermont Waterways Canoe Paddling Adapter. Your entry must arrive at Vermont Waterways by May 1, 2002. Use our Rankings Entry Form to submit your data.
