Wow! What a great find RG! I hope you can get permission to post some of the photos. I am fascinated with those little one man boats you refer to. They are called Penn Yan Swifties. Here is a shot of one at the Meredith Boat Show taken by JG1222. (I have one taken at the Wolfeboro Boat show but JG's is better)
