I’ve tended to think of canoes and kayaks as separate from small boats. Small boats go on trailers and are super-versatile but heavy. Canoes and kayaks are more specific and focused in function.
I’m considering changing this view.
I suppose that means I need a semi-decked Kruger Seawind type of boat.
Mostly I’m pondering the idea of having a little mast and sail in a paddle boat. Also of thinking of moving around in a paddle boat more. In a non-race type design this is possible.
The idea is a small boat that truly is easy to haul around, haul up on a beach. Such a boat can also be quite seaworthy.
