Sure, they're more likely to flip due to their smaller size.
If they are rowed by experienced boater's they are plenty
safe.

We are scheduled to put in on July 25th, for our first
Canyon trip, and
first whitewater. We seem to be with an experienced/safety-
conscious group,
but have just been informed that, instead of traveling on 4-
person rafts, we
will be on 2-person catarafts, and a paddle raft.

I would appreciate information and opinions on the safety
and stability of
catarafts......... are they more likey to flip than another
kind of raft???

Answer quick, please!!! Our trip is coming up soon!!
