I have the smallest one possible, much more comfortable then a big one.
From what I know most catsailing incidents that resulted in death where from people getting stuck under the tramp.
It makes you wonder if a PFD with maximum flotation is something you want.
Anyway, European safety standards are quite strict so why not change the requirement to have either a CG or CE approved PFD?
Any idea why the approval process is so expensive? Its a PFD, how much could you possibly test?
