It must have been the late 1960s I was sculling about the trots in westCowes when I was hailed by to very well dressed yachtmen slightly the worse for the demon drink.They hailed me andaskedtobeferried to their yacht which I duly obliged,that could have well been the genesus of the whole business ?

Well the whole sorry business of use ing an inflatable could all be avoided ifyachts where large enough to carry a paid crew and a proper pulling boat .Therot started letting the proletariat go yachting !
