Traveling with a folded Greenland II and a sail rig around europe is
impractical unless you hire porters. The Greenland II folds into
multiple bags. The Folbot outriggers are ridged and do not fold away too
well. If you must carry a sail, consider a rig from Balogh Sail Design.
I would also echo what a previous poster said: Kayaks do not sail very
efficiently. They are very slow up-wind to broad reach. They can move
pretty well down wind given you have enough wind. I sail a Klepper and
took it to Tahiti a few years ago. Two of us could not carry it packed
for very long distances.

I would consider a Feathercraft K1. It carries lots of gear, folds into
1 backpack bag that fits on a pull behind cart that can also be used to
wheel an assembled kayak. If you pack your supplies in a foldable
backpack, you can carry your supplies on your back and wheel the kayak
behind with great ease. If you travel light, you can use a Feathercraft
Kahuna. It fits into 1 backpack bag and weighs only 35 pounds.

Hi,

I'm interested in figuring out what the best gear would be for a
kayaking trip like this:

Fly to france, paddle on canals/rivers (not whitewater) and down to
the mediterranean, then bounce along the coast or out to islands in
the med. etc.

I'm looking into a folbot with sail kit, but of course wonder if the
mast can made to fold and also be brought as luggage, etc. etc. I
wouldn't want to have to paddle across large open bodies of water.
Also, it might be nice to be able to portage, so some kind of wheel
kit could be useful, and I would probably bring a large daypack for
hiking excursions, etc. etc.

Of course, this is just one of many places I would want to go with
this kind of setup.

Just trying to get an idea. So many places to go, so little time.
Interested in feasibility, cost, etc.
