The Khatsalano is 18 feet long and 22 inches wide, that is a lot of
volume. I think that the main problem that the Khatsalano has is that
it needs to be loaded in order to have some stability, and I know that
it is not the only kayak that has that problem.

Had the Khatsalano been shorter or narrower it would probably be a
very nice kayak.
