👉 In the context of sailing and marine navigation, a "raftman" refers to a person who operates a single-person boat or kayak on a river or ocean. They are responsible for steering and controlling the boat while it is being towed by another vessel, such as a sailboat or a smaller craft. These individuals often operate in teams of two or three and are required to be skilled sailors with advanced navigation skills, including knowledge of the local weather patterns, currents, and wind direction.
