In addition to what was mentioned by Ralph and Richard etc., I would
mention floatation even though it is normally assumed.  Fill up as much
as the boat as possible with air bags.  The Klepper has a strange
stability curve for a wide boat and some people would also like some
external stability enhancement device while learning to reduce the ill
effects called white knuckles.
