: So that was not a typo? 18 inch beam.....

: My narrowest is 20 inches. I have never tipped it acccidently, but
: it has ocasionally felt a bit wobbly. Does anybody have an 18
: inch wide yak near Atlanta that I could paddle one day?

: bvs

But it's also very long, the beam acts on the length so the skinny boat isn't really much more unstable than a somewhat wider but shorter boat. On a single chine boat also depends much on the chine location, one nearer the keel than the gunwale will tends to have less initial stability.
