This I can certify is true. You get damper bums sitting in Mucky Farters cockpit in a calm mooring of a brilliant blue sky summer evening, than you do in his tender

Yeah can do it on my Wetline but its a little bit of a struggle. Think of it another way the tubes are so big they stop you falling out plus stop the waves coming in over them.

The trick is to pull yourself half on then tip forward and slide in.

The bestway by far to get into a rubber duck is to grap hold of the tubes and push yourself under the water initially and then use the impetus upwards to get your belly onto the tube, bending into the boat as you go. You will end up balanced on the tube and can then swing sideways into the boat. This is the method used by hundreds of divers - probably cause it works!!!!!

let the air out so the sides are lower and you can virtually swim into them.
