Yer a bit slow with that, JF. Taken from motorboat & Yachting May issue, came out in April. I see you neatly cropped the text off the second pic which explained the circumstances. I believe the chap is a hard boat driver.

Actualy, I nicked the pics 'as they are'
'Hard boat driver'....mebbe the silly sod had been reading too much fiction on a rib site, and had developed 'hopelesly optomistic' expectations from his blow up boat as a result.
