To get halfway there, and at least research the concept, look up the 1992/1996 book "Pocket Cruiser & Tabloid Yachts Volume 1" by Benford Design Group of St. Michaels, Maryland. Copyright by Jay R. Benford. As well as written descriptions, photos of operational boats, and samples of plans and loftings, it offers sage advice such as this from page 18, "A word of caution here: anyone aspiring to own a spiffy pocket yacht such as Grivit had better enjoy talking to people -- you'll be besieged with questioners everywhere you go. Or, of course, you could anchor out for peace and privacy ..." ⚓ (Grivit is a 14 foot Tug-Cruiser)

Two fullgrown Cows in the Trailer meant "flying" up a very steep alpine Road with a little over 20Km/h on the small one in the "fast" Streetgears, whilst the big one required changing down into the slow Workinggears and creeping up the same Road at max. 12-13Km/h....
