What combination of these, and other factors, will a dinghy have to meet.

I like my Achilles for what I will call heavy duty work; but I also just got a Takacat for ease of entry when diving and light weight and easy storage. Very different boats for very different things.

With more information about your intended use it will be easier to advise you.
If I said- YES- I want something to carry jerry cans, beaching, etc. what recommendations do you have for type and accessories?
