What would be your choice for a non motorized minimalist long distance
touring boat suitable for extended trips on large rivers? I'm not so
much interested in manufactured name brand boats as I am in TYPES of
boats suitable for this use. The following criteria should be used.
1. Light enough for one person to portage over land and car top.80lbs
2. Able to carry enough food and water and gear for one week.
I'm guessing 300 lb capacity including person.
3. Able to allow the user to lie down and sleep in the boat if
necessary.
4. Able to be paddled by one person, rowed or sailed.
5. Able to withstand large wakes from commercial vessels and pleasure
motor boats.

Here are the boats that I have seen suggested for this type of use.
All fall short in some way, some more than others.

Oldtown Discovery Type canoe (difficult for one person to handle)
Greenland style kayak (Can't be rowed or sailed easily. Limited
capacity. Can't sleep in it. Can't row or
sail it.
St Lawrence type Skiff Too large to paddle, too heavy to car top.
Adirondack Guide boat Too narrow to sail
Aleut Style Baidarka Same as Greenland Kayak
Barnegat Sneak Box too heavy to car top or portage, can't
paddle.
Are there any others? Mabey I'm asking alot to be able to paddle, row
and sail a boat. Any thoughts appreciated.
