Doryman today features a type of boat I hadn't come across before - the Atchafalaya Basin Piroque from Louisiana. It is designed to be rowed forwards through the still, narrow, congested channels of the bayous.
It would be a great boat for England's canals - you can see where you are going, and I imagine that you could push the boat along close to the 4mph speed limit. I think I would try and design it to keep the bow in the water to maximise the waterline length, however.

But my stubby little sailor's legs don't approve of standing up long enough to get anywhere very interesting

Having a crew would solve both the stamina and bows-out-of-the-water problems at one fell swoop.
Cee Dubs, I'm with you on this one. If I wanted to walk, I'd walk.
