Square cut punts were obtainable fom Hunt,Lunt and Cunningham.
Those were square cut punts, not a punt cut square

Would this involve Mrs Puggy Wuggy perchance?

Do you think we could sell this technique to one of the mags as a man overboard recovery method? It could be amusing to see the reports of experiments ...

My biggest worry would be concerned with which bits of the casualty's anatomy were most likely to be left on the guardrail.
If it was Shard it would probably be an ankle - Nick and myself may well find rather more important bits being risked, us being shorter in stature - or would the opposite apply?

I've got a couple of bound volumes of YM from the twenties. They make fascinating reading. Clearly the two important yachting centres then were Burnham and the Clyde - the Solent was much less important, though there were a fair number of builders there.
