: I agree with this point - in fact, I considered looking for a very skinny
: used surf ski to saw in half and seal up to use as a prototype. The
: stability will definitely be greater than a surf ski and I think better
: than a sea kayak - with the large moment arm due to the hull separation,
: the restoring buoyant force should be high compared to the secondary
: stability of a regular kayak. Again, 10 minutes in the water will tell the
: tale, once there's a boat, of course.

Well I'll be building a model to play with, though much shorter than yours. Can't do more for a few weeks though, have other plans. Perhaps in July?
