We just paddled our asses down the Arno and Po rivers in Italy or tried to drown out between the cape and Marth'a Vineyard.  
Some were hard palstic and the others were a collapsable cloth/canvas and rubber affair on a wooden frame. Taxing my memory here.  |
In mid '80s, I never saw a plastic one. We had the canvass Kleppers with the wooden ribs. We did take them out in the ocean a few times. A few of us almost got clobbered when we loaded on a landing craft in medium swells during MAROPS at Va. Beach.
