Here is the long answer. A right handed feathered paddle allows you to paddle without ever letting the paddle shaft spin in the right hand and the only time the left hand lines up with the long axis of the shaft cross section is during the left power stroke. So during the left power stroke position both hands will line up properly with the paddle shaft. A right feathered paddle is the norm and a left feathered paddle is a special orders.

If you hold the paddle with zero feather with both hands horizontally in front of you twist the shaft halves in the ferrule so the top of the right blade moves toward you and the top of the left blade moves away from you for a total difference of 60 degrees you will have a 60 degree right feather.
