Hopcar,
I like that a lot. If stowed outside water would collect in the folds of the hull skin and grow green slime. Perhaps a cover or storage bag? Looks like it's intended for sitting yoga style.

A slightly bigger one w seats that didn't fold that also was 40lbs would be very attractive to me. I like the hull form a lot. It's what a dinghy should be like. FD and very full in the ends.

For me the dinghy question has come down to a crane .. or .. a canoe or a rubber duckie w/o the wood transom and wood seats. 32lbs. One could put in a plywood floor and board seats after the dink was launched. The canoe option will look strange/odd but w a 2hp OB cruise at 5 or 6 knots. The side windage would be unwelcome too but Willy's got a 3.5' full keel.
