Trying to sail on rivers can be problematic, but it is good to take advantage of the breeze when it does go your way.
I'm beginning to think that the PRRB depends more on your idea of a Perfect River, than the Perfect Boat to float on it.
My Perfect River has perfect little corners for camping ashore where nobody minds.
I think I need to emigrate (again).

Brian! Now you bring those goalposts and put them back where you found them!

There is a world of difference between The Perfect River Raid Boat, and The Perfect Go Anywhere do Anything and Still Fit in your Garage Boat. You Chooses you Parameters and You Gets Constrained by Them.

... "dory sections" of CW's boats.
Well, my project is not a "Perfect River Raid Boat", so I stop hijacking this thread
But, to go back to the subject, an evolution (IE Octavia sized) of the Winsome, or a mongrel of your boat, John, and Octavia could be a PRRB, IMO...

... wasn't right on the nose. I have seen them (you know who you are!) getting really depressed about this. As John Cleese's headmaster character put it in Clockwise, when the pupil told him not to despair: "I can stand the despair. It's the hope."

Perhaps I should have said "my" rather than "the" most perfect RRB.
Just a few reasons why she caught my eye so strongly.
Gilles Montaubin has been designing boats for 30 years, and he keeps designing ones that perform very well in Raids. Different model, different Raids, yet his designs...
