: You might try downloading BearboatPro which has a stability calculation built
: in. You can create a kayak similar to the one that you are contemplating
: and then simply play with increasing the height of the center of gravity
: and the width of the boat and see how much these variables affect the
: stability curves.

Thanks, Robert -
I just installed OSX, so will be downloading your OSX version of Bearboat Pro.
