Question Why no liferafts for 2 or 3 people?

Having crossed the channel to Cherbourg and L2K a few times without a liferaft, I'd feel a lot safer with one for further trips.

In the catalogues there seems to be a choice of either a one-person raft (at a potentially reasonable price) or for 4-6 (priced over £1,000).

Given that most of us fly in 2 or 4-seater aircraft (often with no more than 3 in the 4-seater) across the channel, it would seem logical to use a 2-3 person liferaft.

Are such things available? If not, why not? If they do exist, how much are they?

Thanks
