Thanks for the info, I see it in the '37 to '46 Catalogues. I took it down to the lake tonight, and tried it in a few configurations. I don't think it really works well with a double bladed paddle, as you're very low. It does feel quite comfortable at a mild angle against a thwart or seat. I'm surprised how small it looks in the canoe. I've always expected passengers to help with the paddling... this is a little different. Kind of fun.
