Questioned by RNLI re not wearing lifejacket.

[Searush]

Fine, I always wear a PBA &/or a wetsuit on my Laser or the Solo, the risk of capsize is relatively high - and gets even higher as I enjoy it more!

But my Pentland ain't going to capsize & the risk of falling overboard in normal cruising weather is insignificant. And I would never wear a auto lifejacket in a dinghy as i wouldn't be capable of righting or sailing her once the damn jacket went off.

You're famous LJS. In this month's YM, no less:

Next question, is Libby Purves a lurker, or a poster? If the latter, which one?

The whole dichotomy of *my* sailing is balancing:
(a) Eddie would go
(b) What would LibbyP/JimmyB/BillyT do?
