: Just like everything in boat design... you get some to give some. This
: variation is no different.

: Picture a guy with a rotator cuff injury who really wants to go out in that
: kayak he had to shelve due to the injury, or a guy who does not like
: paddling, or a guy who wants more stability...

Hi Chris,
I have a picture of a guy with rotator cuff damage. That would be me. I really wanted to go kayaking when it was bad but didn't. I can now. You just have to suck it up and let it mend. (or require surgery and still have to wait). Oh yeah, use of a GP helps.

If a guy doesn't like paddling, what on earth is he doing in a craft that is paddled?

For more stability, a wider kayak or boat might help. An outrigger is fine but I'd build a craft AS an outrigger boat.
