Ah, of course. I really should read less and paddle more...
: Sort of, but not really.
: A peaked deck is less stable when inverted, so makes it easier to initiate
: your roll...but given the same gunwale/sheer height, also more volume, and
: possibly less grip.
: Greenlandic rolling kayaks, probably the easiest-to-roll design out there
: (designed for rolling competition, only...) have very low decks, almost
: dead flat, and relatively boxy (albeit small) cross-sections.
