Rubber rafts (Schlauchboote) on board Type VII C/41

[gtangen]

Hi!

Does anyone now how many and which type of Rubber rafts (Schlauchboote) that was on board the Type VII C/41?

As far as I know, some of these uboat Types had;
  - 4ea 5-men Rubber rafts in water tight containers (embodied in the forward deck)
  - 2ea 5-men Rubber rafts in water tight containers in the lower aft section of the "wintergarden" for the 37mm AA gun
  - 1ea 8 meter long Rubber raft below deck (mostly used for supplies loading on sea)
  - An unknown quantity of one-man Rubber rafts below deck

I am also interested in the specification for each Rubber raft types; weight, length, width and height.

In forward thanks!

Regards
