I am wondering which is the most stable of the tandems, the i14t, the outfitter or the oasis?

I CAN tell you that the i14t is unbelievably stable, you'd have a very hard time turtling it. It's also a very easy boat to climb back into when swimming, even solo. I've sailed mine in some pretty rough water, always confident and impressed by it's stability. I don't have experience with the other hulls, but I hope this helps.

I agree... when considering stability... the i14.

i14 is probably the most stable as Matt said.

I own a Tandem Outfitter and got to say it is very stable. We use it so my wife can practice open water swimming and sometimes she jumps out and climbs in the middle of the lake and the boat is very stable.

We also sail our Outfitter and even in moderate windows it has remained stable w/o AMAs. We came close once or twice however also managed to avoid it.
