i've got a huki V1-A. talk about tippy. the thing is a hair over 13 inches at the beam. with a moderate water ama, i spend a lot of time swimming. one thing that helped was raising the ama up as far as possible. this makes the boat lean slightly left. you can also sit off-center to the left by half an inch or so. you can also add a small weight to the rear iako riser. but the best thing to do is just practice. after about 15 days on my huki, i'm finally getting to the point where i don't capsize unless i'm trying to fly the ama with a left brace or some other trick. i don't know how experienced you are. i'm practically a novice, although i've paddled kayaks and canoes seriously for about four years now. if your a very seasoned OC-1 paddler, i dont' know what to tell you.

I also have a Hihimanu and it is very tippy on me also. I ended up putting water in the ama to wieght it down. It has definatly hepled my paddling.
