Trying to identify this boat

[dsainspectordon]

I’m trying to identify this skin on frame row/sale boat. It’s 44 inches at the gunwales. 12feet 6 long. Has British style ore brackets, a turnbuckle braced daggerboard trunk, a sq cast aluminum mast base. The boat is in a antique shop in North Carolina

Looks to be French - musee de la plaisance - 'To adapt an outboard engine for a canoe, a transom takes the place of the rear section with a pointed design. This is how we saw Colette Pétard, the daughter of the folding kayak manufacturer Lapon, do so well in the Paris 6 Hours race with a 25hp unit.'
