Rob, there were a few questions, but I lost track of them. Here is what I can remember...

How did you think to do folding bows with strings?

If stacked beams, and beam on deck of lw hull, how does lw bow folding work? Notch the deck, or the folded bow?

It seems the anchor box needs strength. What if the ww cabin seat was the anchor box/toy box?

If we deepen the notch for the cabin door/cock pit area, can we put the winches on that box too? Then one might have a foot well for bracing in bad weather.

Step on the box on the way out to the deck proper?

The idea is to have 12' ww hull+ cabin + bench box, and assumes the bench/anchor box/toy box goes over the lee hull when collapsed.

Your thoughts?
