A collapsible watercraft made up of 6 identical watertight floats arranged in line to form 2 hulls, connected and fixed in position with bolts by 2 watertight deck floats to give adequate buoyancy for a normal weighted person. A custom curved bow and aft section attached gives the form of a canoe. When this section is covered, it resembles a kayak. Flexibility of arrangement of the deck and modules, with variation of width of deck, allows the insertion of a sail base, daggerboard, small motor, rudder, and by extension longitudinally and transversely, a watercraft of limitless size. The most simple form for one person has dimensions and weight that is acceptable by any airline without surcharge when checking in, acceptable by any backpacker who also happens to be canoer or kayaker, in terms of weight, dimensions and function, and assembled and disassembled in minutes.
