I did roll it a bunch.  It rolls fairly easily with good clearance on the
back deck.   The boat does not want to sit dead upside down, as many
Greenland styled boats do, due to the upturn at the ends.  It makes tipping
clear over a challenge if some hesitation isn't used.  First time I rolled I
nearly blew it as I rushed the roll before the boat had inverted completely!
Thank goodness for a sculling low brace!
