Wait a minute... I remember you.
You mean FULLY ENCLOSED, just like you said.
One person and low budget, right?
Means of propulsion?

Wouldn't that make it a kayak?

Hello , I need a sleeping bag like tight and low profile , easy to sleep inside , do not need to mess with waves , rain , cold and sun outside of the boat.
I bought a 4 layers , minus 42 celcius sleeping bag and I am thinking to winter in it after summer. I need a boat inside like an sleeping bag not more.
I am outsourcing the plans because it can be thought better. Thanks.

 

[mustafaumu sarac]

Don't we all? >};o)

Shazam!

4m skin-on-frame.
Okay, I've built one of these for a race.
We won.
We paddled but you could put a mast on it.

Do you have access to lumber?
2x4's?
2x2's?
1x2's? ... all in 2m lengths?
6mm plywood?
screws?

What do you have for skin?
Pallet wrap, 500m roll works great.
Packing tape or Tuck Tape available?

You'll need to go for two, small, narrow outriggers.
Not more than 2m apart.

Can you get 4, 5 or 6 mm acrylic sheets, clear?
For a canopy.

I have the plans, they're simple.

Do you have a mast?

It's a one way, one use boat, right?

So, what do you have for skin?

Ah, I’m getting the concept!
It’s a floating coffin equipped with a mummy bag!
How about a length of shoulder width PVC pipe with a weighted keel and a small kite?
Just lay in it sailing downwind and wait for the bump!

Difficult to get into a "fully closed boat".

Check out any SOF kayak.
You will have trouble supporting much sail area.
Do you want outriggers?
How much sail area?

Better get some decent skin if you are going to sail.

Please explain some more, cause what you said is easy, if you don't care about how well it works or how long it lasts.

See: Geodesic Airolite Boat Designs → Boats → Rob Roy 14 (a SOF adaptation by Platt Monfort of a Rob Roy cruising kayak by L. Francis Herreshoff)

I'm sure you can add a mast and a sail and a leeboard and a rudder and some outriggers and a streamlined SOF cabin and stretch out your sleeping bag inside the hull, but I'm sorry to say LOA is 13' 10¼" (4.22 m), so alas she's 849⁄64" (22 cm) too long to comply with your strict demands. . .

Here's the original Rob Roy 14 as designed by L. Francis Herreshoff . . .

I'm sorry, this is going to be a bit smelly, but I'm breaking my head over it, since apart from the lack of storage for food and potable water I don't see how you can fit an outhouse inside the hull, or even doing your business inside on a bucket, so how do you plan to produce your personal floaters when you're just lying inside all the time, or does the first issue solve the latter . . ?

Hi, have you ever thought about a home-built folding boat? It is easy for tranportation: Homebuilt Folding Kayak https://schoonerdrummer.com/diy-projects/homebuilt-folding-kayak/ and stowing away.
Or something simple like this (23 lbs !): https://www.instructables.com/id/Sawfish-foam-kayak-build-a-funtional-light-wieght-/

Most important is training: Freya Hoffmeister https://de-de.facebook.com/freyahoffmeisterpage/videos/training-kayak-ergometer/10155991191472838/
You can learn a lot from Freya Hoffmeister. She has rounded Iceland 2007, New Zealand 2009, South America 2011 - 2015, Ireland 2016 and is on her way around
North America since 2017 - ?. English http://freyahoffmeister.com/video/english/
She has developed a simple system to sleep in her Kayak in open waters during long passages without landfall.

[U]Manfred'[/U]s post #14 links offer the info and the option to actually go, but it needs to mess with waves, rain, cold and sun outside of the boat a bit, and to do something, but from [U]Umut'[/U]s info posted here and on previous threads, I'm afraid that's where his not going anywhere weakness lies.
