True hardcore fans will all remember the photo of AR and Evegenia in a small sailing dinghy (with sails down), which was incorrectly labelled in a few biographical books as 'Slug'. I can't find the exact photo online, but it is the same boat as in the photo linked below (with sails up).
Now 'Slug' was a larger boat, with rocks for ballast, big enough to sleep (uncomfortably) on. More of a yacht than a dinghy I understand.
So what was the boat in this photo? The books place it in Russia (or over that way!). There are no Lake District hills in the background so I assume that is correct. I don't recall a mention of such a boat at that time, in any of the biographical works.
