If you are sailing on a lake or river system your dinghy is more for convenience and short trips. Visiting a friends boats or going to shore from a mooring. If you are traveling to the Bahamas or the Caribbean, your faithful dinghy becomes an important work horse. She is your taxi, hauls provisions, doubles as a life raft and takes you to explore. For in land sailing an excellent choice is an inflatable with during the winter months can 
be folded and stored easily, combined with a small, light outboard will fill all your needs. One of my top choices is a Zodiac Cadet 260. I uses this model on my 32 foot charter boat and it has the stamina to stand up to abuse. I combine that with a Yamaha 6hp and you have a great combo.
My choice for the south is a hard bottom dinghy, in around 11 feet. The best would be an aluminum cock, for durability and light weight. Titan make a few great models, the down side is the price. In the fiberglass bottom I use the Zodiac Yacht Line series. Good value and very resistant. We get 8 to 10 years out of a unit.
