What's a tippy boat for one may not be
Posted by: shirlann on Oct-14-12 10:36 PM (EST)

tippy for another.
I have a Vector 14, find it very stable, but when a much taller person than I took it for a ride you could see it was tippy for him. It was humorous to me, as he tried to find his point of balance, as he bragged about how much he had paddled SOT's. This narrower boat was not for him or he padded his experience on the water.
