swap claud butler for shortish plastic boat

okay rather off subject but wonder if anyone is a cyclist and paddler.

Have a Claud Butler (probably made by Claud himself in the 1950's and has twirly Continental Lugs). I had it resprayed by Holdsworth in the 60's.Money made from caddying was put to good use by purchasing and fitting the following:
10 speed Campagnolia gears
solid alloy cotterless Campag cranks
Williams chainset
Large flange Campag hubs
Weinemen rims
Mafac brakes

To be honest the bike is in a rather a sorry state. Basically structurally sound but needs a good clean up (it is kept in the shed) and replacing tyres and cables will be required.I have given up cycling many years ago but still have a strong emotional attachment so am not that bothered about letting it go unless I am tempted by a kayak that will fit my purposes.Looking for shortish plastic boat ideally with built in flotation and hatches which I can use for touring on canals, narrow streams so has to be manovrable.Really only interested in doing a swap with folk in West Sussex/Hampshire for logistical reasons of course.Cheers, Frank.
