Night Heron is a wonderful boat, but not well suited for touring. The aft is very low- not much space for gear, and it would be a submarine if you loaded it down. I am building a touring boat this winter- my day boat is a Night Heron.

Of the boats you list I'd go Njord, but I've never paddled one. I'm just looking on paper.
