No, I'd assume they have statistics that show that smaller boats tend to incur more deaths from people falling overboard.
Which does sort of make sense.
I'm not sure you can argue the "nanny state" on this one. You have taxpayer funded responders who don't get to save this person or not that person simply because of how they're dressed. I'm sure they have data that suggests the most unnecessary deaths, which consume taxpayer resources, are from smaller boats...and distract from the more legitimate cases of responsible boaters in emergency situations.
