Back-up paddle for mono-hull, primary for dual or tri-hull use

A full-length double-bladed paddle is lost on an Island and rendered equally useless when used as an outrigger yak as well, which is fine because I rarely feel a need to reach for the paddle when I roll that way. The akas do get in the way of a full paddle stroke as does the tramps as well. If my paddle was a standard aluminium Hobie paddle, I'd probably just put one of the new T-handles into the female end as use that as a single paddle instead (this is what I'd do if I had the Pro Angler as well). But my paddle is one of the Bending Branches (BB) Hobie paddles, which is a higher quality fibreglass version, offering lighter weight, stiffer and more responsive blades. I like this paddle a lot (and always use that if I take out the hull only) but the T-handles don't fit into them properly, to I decided to find another solution. The obvious solution came in the form of a lightweight telescopic aluminium paddle.
