As far as putting on jackets goes, if you have to put them on in a hurry, your already screwed. Having a Type 1 vest is not a bad idea. It may be a better idea to have one or two automatic inflatables. OK, some say "I'll get an inflatable but a manual and save a few bucks." Not a good idea, the chances are higher that you'll fall overboard and hit your head rendering you unconscious and underwater than the lower percent chance having your boat sink. Buy the jacket that your going to wear. It will save your life.
