As for weight.  

Our dinghy weights in at around 300 lbs all up.  It is a bear to drag off a
beach, however we very seldom do so.  Perhaps if we visited the Bahamas we
would want a lighter rig.

If we did, I could see that a light dinghy would be more useful.

There are retractable wheels available designed to lower and support the
heavy stern of a dinghy such as ours when beaching but I don't know how
well they work.

And then there is also the flying dinghy...
