I used to have a Loon 120, which is the same width as the 160, but much
shorter. Almost as wide as it is long actually. I started my rolling
practice in that one, without ever succeeding. The first time I tried to
roll a rollable boat, I succeeded immediately.

So, I recommend anyone to do their rolling practice in these Loons.
Later, when someone asks you how long it took you to learn to roll, you
can say "First time I ever tried in a decent boat I succeeded".
