As Keith notes, Winslow wins as both aircraft and marine rafts per Practical
Sailor.
Be glad you got rid of the Plastimo raft. Years ago I went to the 1st Safety
at Sea Seminar at the Naval Academy. They demonstrated a Plastimo raft.
Strong young people pulled on the lanyard - it would not inflate.
Later, in the water they got one to inflate. The guy who popped it must have
been a football player.
Givens was all the rage awhile back. They are expensive, heavy, and very
well ballasted. < http://www.givensliferafts.com/ >
