Other: Sea Flea stability?

I am working on some stability calculations, trying to scale them down (so to speak) to compare kids boats. I have the math done and need a real word comparison. I know Tom's Sea Flea has been built many time. I have created a model of it, done the math and now I need to see if my figures lives up to real word experience.

If you have built a Sea Flea, did you child 'get in and go' or did they wobble a little or fall out? And what did the weigh?

Thanks in advance. If you prefer just email me the info.

Once I get this done if someone wants it, I will be happy to share the spread sheet.
