I was wondering what people were going to come up with as far as a long
distance boat. My impression was that Steve was asking for the
impossible, although a Folboat might come pretty close. I believe that
a Folboat has crossed the atlantic. When you are talking about remote
trips, long or short, a folding boat makes a lot of sense. I guess that
would be my dream boat, one I could put in a duffel, and then travel by
bus, plane, floatplane, horse, porter, or any other means. I believe
that some of the folding kayaks could be paddled, sailed, rowed,
cartopped, etc, and many of them are designed for serious tripping. The
Cruz book on Folding Kayaks is worth reading.

I enjoyed reading about a Kruger trip the length of the Yukon River, 80
days, Mr. Kruger was about 80 years old when he did it in 2002. The
link is below. Not sure what will happen to the company when he dies,
but then he must have been in good health in 2002 to complete an 80 day
river trip!

Except for the rowing part a Kruger might fit the bill:
