Swordfish S - any difference in stability between glass and carbon versions?

Asking for a friend.

I very much doubt that there is any perceptible difference in the stability between glass and carbon layups - but I haven't tried them both.

Anyone have an opinion on this?

I paddled both back to back a few times recently.

Much preferred the carbon one (of course). There is a touch of stability difference in chop, mainly because of the 3kg or so less weight, to be expected, but nothing that doesn't disappear quickly.

Hi Rob

I don't think that there is so much a difference in stability, but rather a difference in feel. The Carbon boat is quite a bit stiffer which translates to one feeling little bumps much more than in the glass boat. It can be interpreted as being more jittery, but I don't think there is a significant difference. Going upwind, the carbon boat does seem to blow around a bit more.
