In this study 100 groups of five participants were used to discover problems with an interface. The study did indeed find that the mean percentage of problems discovered across all 100 groups was about 85%. However, this figure has 95% confidence level and a margin of error of Â±18.5%.
Keelboats were generally built in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and it was here that Meriwether Lewis commissioned the boat used by the Corps of Discovery. The keelboat used by the Corps was sketched by Clark in his journal. It was 55 feet long and 8 feet wide, with a 3- to 4-foot draft. For propulsion it had a 32-foot sailing mast, 22 oars, a rudder, and a tiller for steering. Protection against hostile encounters were a swivel cannon on the bow and two smaller guns called blunderbusses.
Prusko said the small est boats at the event are 16 to 18 feet in length and the largest boats are around 21 feet in length. John said that one of the oldest boats, dating back to 1931, is owned by Bill Burgess. The boats will be set up and practice heats open to the public will take place Friday afternoon.
