Good advice as ever. I am never sure whether a life jacket is more likely to save me than my fear of falling overboard without one is likely to prevent me from doing it. Single handed will it make a difference? I'm dead either way. The more crew on-board to mount a rescue, the more likely someone will go over sometime. Do life jackets make them over confident? - Just one example.
Motto: prevention is better than cure.
