In Response To: Seeking: Resistance vs stability *PIC* (Kudzu)

: Here is the description from Killen of his Stability factor
: numbers.
: 110+ is comfortable for all novices
: 100 is comfortable for most paddlers

What are these numbers and how are they calculated? I think that "stability" as it applies to kayaks is a very complicated subject.
