Additional volume in the stern actually enhances overall stability in bigger water. Stern strokes are used more often in these conditions too. Leans are adjusted as needed throughout playboating situations. Typically they are subtle or completely natural. Control strokes executed in the bow area make adjustments in the boat's direction while providing some forward momentum.
Stern strokes are stronger and more effective when maximum correction is needed.
A shallow arch bottom, soft primary chines and flared sides from bow to stern permit you to roll the boat up to block waves with confidence. The feel is consistent and predictable. The flare also deflects chop. The weight bearing knee is comfortably positioned so the center of gravity can be concentrated over the lowest part of the hull when leaned up. The boat firms up at the shoulder giving a steady reference point and optimum overall final stability.
