Thanks Jagewa, Nigel.

They were designed by people who knew nothing about boats and rocked quite badly even in the slightest swell.

When I was in I served with an old pilot who used one of these, or the RAF one. When he got to it, with his crew, it was occupied by the other side. They agreed that which ever boat arrived first the others would surrender, till then they had peace and shared rations, and stories. They were in it for about 3 days.
