I may be wrong, but that looks tippy.

At nearly 20" wide at the waterline its initial stability will be reasonable and with quite a bit of flare it will stiffen up in secondary.

For those who think "round bottom" means "unstable", please read: http://www.guillemot-kayaks.com/guillemot/information/kayak_design/kayak_stability

When compared to my Mystery design, this will be very stable and comfortable
