I find my fully loaded Romany just as easy to roll as an empty Romany.
Coming back from a 5 day camping trip last summer, not only was my
Romany fully loaded, but I had to strap stuff on top of the deck, both 
fore and aft. (We had to carry our own garbage out, so I looked like a 
garbage scow coming into home harbor.) The Romany was easy to
roll even in that comical state.

This above may not apply to other kayaks. The Romany is one of
the easiest kayaks to roll, almost as easy as my ww RPM.
