" Have
you thought at all about using an unballasted small
sailboat and using a couple of yaks as outriggers and
an instant trimaran?  Don't know how practical such a
rig might be but, who knows..."

I have been drawing boats like this and I think it is practical enough
for my purposes.  The main hull would be capable of functioning on it's
own, the structure would allow for flexing and would be designed to be
easy on the kayaks, and the sailing rig would be relatively modest.  I
have some other ideas as well.
