Riverman, have you ever considered an Inflatable Canoe?
Or even a folding canoe?
I've tried a couple of the inflatable canoes on the US market, the Soar 16' and
the
Aire Traveller. I liked the Traveller better and it felt like you could really
put a load on it for an extended trip. Personally, I like double blades better
and will stick to IK's and regular kayaks.
Ally's folding canoe always gets good reviews. It looks and supposedly handles
just like a regular canoe.
Both Innova and Grabner also make inflatable canoes also,
I can get my Force XL, a 4pcs paddle, helmet, pump, repair kit and a PFD in a
large duffle with a total weight of under 60 lbs. Becoming an Airhead might
solve
you water adventure problems.
