Fatty Knees and Lyle Hess

Currently, I am looking for that article, I read somewhere, about Lyle’s reason for designing the Fatty Knees dinghy.

It may have been in a magazine in the SLM Co office or elsewhere.

The article stated that while Lyle was visiting Morro Bay, Ca., he watched a sailor trying to row his dinghy back out to his anchored out boat. The sailor was having a hard time rowing against wind and tide, and there and then Lyle decided to design the Fatty Knees.

Has anyone else read this article, or know where I can find it ?
