I have always thought a solid float would be the way to go (faster
recovery, can't go flat, etc). But, I've wondered how big it would have
to be in order to provide the same floatation as the average inflatable?
I've seen some flat floats used as rolling aids, but it seems they would
have to be much bigger to provide enough floatation for rescue purposes.
(OK, Science Guys, we need your $.02 here ;-)

And wouldn't it be too big to store on deck or in the cockpit (without
being in the way)?
