The Side Float That Stops a Boat From Rolling
The outrigger canoe shows a different solution. Rather than relying only on low weight, it uses a side float that changes how buoyancy is distributed whenever the canoe starts to lean.
As one side moves deeper into the water, buoyancy shifts sideways and produces a force that pushes the canoe back upright. This is the core idea behind form stability: stability created by the shape and width of the hull.
