Another problem with sailing a kayak is that you sit in the center and don't move much. Dinghies (like the Laser) have a wide deck, and you "hike" out on one side to keep them upright. It's not that they're really all that stable, it's that you have control or the cg relative to the centerline. (They are wider too though)
