I have an OT pack, not as tippy as you might think for such a small canoe just keep your torso and head upright and within the gunwales, have fun with her. BTW the hull material has good 'thermal memory' if it is a little warped leave it to warm in the Sun, it should return to normal.
@Rambleale Thanks for the input. I do plan on using the kneeling approach, at least at first to get a feel for the canoe. I am comfortable in canoes, just never used one this narrow. As mentioned in the videos, I sure do like the traditional lines of this canoe.
I took mine out today, I normally kneel but when relaxing I sit, it is plenty stable I even stand occasionally to stretch my legs. If you are used to a wider tandem you will think 'eh up' as you get in but then it's fine. Sometimes I use a kayak paddle, with which you can get quite a turn of speed. I too think it is a good looking boat, hope you have as much fun in yours as I do in mine.
A well made video.

You have a killer yard, my man. I only wish my lawn were that thick and green. Oh ya, nice canoe too!
