Suggestion?

Wear your life vest.

So, you need to get one that is comfortable and wear it.

You NEVER know when something will go wrong. I was sailing in light air single-handed years ago in San Felipe Mexico. I was out maybe 1 1/2 to 2 miles from shore or so. Tacked because I was getting "out there"... When I went back on the wire and leaned in to sheet the jib, my trap hook broke. The main sheeted out and the boat sailed itself back to the beach without me... I was lucky. The water was warm and I am a good swimmer.
