From what I've heard from people that have paddled it, the boat is actually no less stable than the 19.5. When I was deciding between a standard Northbay and the XL version I opted for the wider (22" vs. 20") beam on the XL because I wanted a boat with a fairly comfortable initial stability level. I'm quite comfortable in it although after paddling a standard Northbay I would have been happy with that as well. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
