I may have this all wrong, but it would seem that there is a breakdown in
communications on this thread.  What Hannu said is that the main comfort
factor is weight and depth of draft, not length and beam.  What Georg is
saying is that the Idlewild, long, with a narrow beam and a shallow draft
rolled a lot and was quite uncomfortable until they added stabilizers.  While
Hannu doesn't like stabilizers much, he seems to be talking about a different
kind of boat than the Idlewild.

Just a thought from the outside.
