: it is low...

Sweet!

Looking forward to Delmarva!!

With regards to responding to a lean. I have a hypothesis that one needs a certain amount of beam for the kayak to respond to a lean. I'm working on some ultra-low, (6") ultra narrow (18") kayaks, and intuitively, I'm not sure I can get enough of the ends out of the water to make effective leaned turns. Frankly, there'd be so little volume to go underwater to lift the stem and stern. Thoughts?
