For me, storage and "forgettability" are high on the feature list. If you have a boat in the water it's a 24/7 concern. I want one that will break down into the smallest possible package so that it doesn't take up too much space in my side yard (I refer to this area as the boat yard. My wife doesn't go there.)

Once launched it needs to be able to live off shore as well as in mangroves, because those are the places I like to sail.
