Build light.
I love the looks of the V10, V-12 but they are too long. I am thinking it needs to be 8 foot or less. Not sure if it matters how wide it is.
I think you can reduce the plan. Not sure if 20% is too much though.
My already completed 'Lil Bit'. A Martens Goosen V12 set up to sail me to the fishing holes.
Currently working on making a Helms 24 our coastal cruiser.

Have you considered the FB11 nesting dinghy? Has to be put back together, but stows in a smaller space and at 11' assembled, it could be an answer. In the same vein, the YouTube channel "Sailboat Story" has a "Chameleon" nesting dinghy that's very similar, but also has a sail rig option. They did an extensive series on the build process a few years ago.

My buddy picked out the PK78 so some time this coming winter I will be helping him build it.
