A stroke in which the gunwale or side of the canoe is used as a fulcrum and the paddle as a lever. 3, record 1, English, - pry%20stroke
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Another stroke which may be used by either the bow or stern paddler is the pry stroke. The paddle is inserted vertically in the water, with the power face outward, and the shaft braced against the gunwale. A gentle prying motion is applied, forcing the canoe in the opposite direction of the paddling side. 4, record 1, English, - pry%20stroke
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Since most hulls tends to veer - once the bow begins to turn, the stern slides out and forward, quickly pivoting the hull - the pry is best applied at the stern to offset veer and keep the hull aligned. 5, record 1, English, - pry%20stroke

Étant donné que la majorité des embarcations ont tendance à tourner (une fois que l'avant commence à tourner, l'arrière glisse vers l'extérieur et vers l'avant, faisant rapidement pivoter l'embarcation), le meilleur endroit où appliquer l'écart est à l'arrière, afin de contrebalancer le virage et de maintenir l'embarcation en ligne droite. 3, record 1, French, - %C3%A9cart%20actif

This primary bow has a red outer boundary which is located at an angle of 42 degrees away from a line from the sun to the viewer. To see the primary bow the viewer must face away from the sun. A secondary bow with colors reversed so that the red edge is toward the inner border is frequently seen about 8 degrees outside the primary bow. It is weaker than the primary bow because the light undergoes two reflections, and consequently more absorption, inside the raindrops. 2, record 3, English, - secondary%20rainbow

This bow has red on the inside at a radius of 50°, and violet on the outside at a radius of 54°. 3, record 3, English, - secondary%20rainbow

L'arc-en-ciel est un arc lumineux, aux couleurs du spectre, d'un rayon d'environ 42°. On l'observe quand la lumière solaire parvient à l'observateur après avoir traversé un rideau de pluie. Le violet se trouve à l'intérieur et le rouge à l'extérieur. On observe aussi, souvent, un second arc, de moindre intensité et d'un rayon de 51° dont les couleurs se présentent dans l'ordre inverse. On observe occasionnellement jusqu'à six arcs-en-ciel secondaires, contigus au bord interne (violet) de l'arc principal. C'est seulement sur les hautes montagnes ou en avion qu'on peut voir des arcs-en-ciel de forme circulaire complète. 2, record 3, French, - arc%2Den%2Dciel%20secondaire
