New ~350cm sailing dinghy lines fitting my special needs.

Dear all,

I need a new hull plan that I can easily transport in my car (4 sections).
I copied the PT-11 dinghy this summer and it basically does what I want but I need to simplify the design so that it can be built faster by anybody.

Here's more of that...
there is a built thread on woodenboat.forum also.

What I have in mind is to reduce the beam from 125cm to a maximum of 120cm or even better a little less.
There are two boats that almost fit my bill..
The Mayfly 12 or the Summer Breeze. Both are 3 panel (2sheet) designs.
Some things bother me about both designs though.
Constant flare would be great. I don't need that much freeboard, the gunwales should be perpendicular to the sides so that I can cut them from plywood, route a groove and glue them on.
Both got very much rocker. Do I need that much rocker?

So basically I am looking for advice where to start, what works and how to get there.
Performance is secondary to portability. I only sail in totally sheltered fresh water (Alte Donau/ Vienna), no waves, not very much wind most of the time.

I started with the two bottom of the PT-11, the 3 lower panels and extruded the curve up in different angles. 21 degree on all but the purple hull. There the angle is 13° (the bottom aft is almost flat), which results in only 105cm of beam.
Could I gain any meaningful results from building 1:5 models of my hulls and floating them?


Of course I read everything I can find on dinghy design online but my design needs to be a lot narrower or it won't fit my trunk.
There is one commercial 4 split sailing dinghy called Reverso. I intent to copy their strap connection design on my boat.

thank you,

 

Have you seen this design?

scroll down and you will see it fits in the back of our car.

And this sailing trimaran version also fits in a car

We drove all over the USA and then down to Mexico (over 8000 miles in total) a couple of years ago with it in the back, plus everything we needed for 4 months on the road.

I like the Duo. How wide is the bottom? Only 1m beam?

 

I like the oar spars in the pic at the very bottom of the page. I'm nuts for anything that serves a dual propose, especially on a small boat.

But for flat, non-curved oars like those I'd use the flat end to fit into pockets on the sail.

I guess one could engineer a sailing rig around using a pair of sculling oars for mast and boom, thus the mast wouldn't be in the way of a sliding seat rowing rig.
