Where the manufacturers trick us with some of their designs is when they use combinations of these concepts in different parts of the hull. I was particularly interested in your explaination of primary and secondary stability. I had always thought primary stability was stability in the upright position and secondary stability was the kayak had better stabilty when it was leaned on a side. I suppose the result is the same.
