At New York's 79th Street boat basin, skippers of the 80-strong year-round fleet include a drug-company officer, a masseuse, the owner of a thriving fashion firm, an inventor, a rabbi, an actress, a TV producer, advertising and insurance executives, a stock analyst, a nurse and a porno movie queen.
