Lately The concept of stability between the water and the air have been my escape from reality. Visualizing geometric forms and representative vectors is easy and really quie harmless. The hull I'm envisioning now is like a "V" that widens at the top on the ends and a classic Ojibway tumblehome in the middle.
Wide and flat and low at the stem. as it tips the waterline lengthens on the down side and shortens on the up side. Add to this the balasting effect of the interior foam topsides. Lead beading on the keel and this kayak is not going over. If it does flip it'll take a jack to get it back up. But there is more.
