I'm sure the CLC boat is stable compared to some, but my experience in kayaks has been very limited. The only other boats I've used have all been SOT which are generally extremely stable. Kind of like comparing apples and oranges I guess.
I'm embarrassed to say I haven't really tried doing any rolls yet. It's something I've been wanting to practice for a while, but just can't seem to find time. I do carry a pump and a float though. Built the thing a year before our son (first kid) was born so time on the water has been short and sweet lately. I carry a 7ah battery on the floor in the forward hatch. It does help lower the bow a little in the water, and that seems to help with the wind pushing me around less. I think I'll try loading it up with some weight one day and see how it feels.
