Answered my own question by
purchasing a 8'6" Porta Bote. Used the staysail halyard to
lift the whole thing up to where it leaned against the
mast. Although I would definitely recommend this as a two person operation, it is do-able in wind conditions up to about 10 knots. I foresee some entertainment value for those others at anchorage as this wrestling match occurs in the putting together and taking apart modes. We carefully chose a location where there were no spectators for our first several efforts; but managed to get it in the
water within 10 minutes. We love the
dinghy and so far we are sticking with oars only. The little thing tracks very much better than inflatables!
