Mustangs are popular around here. In our cold climate, most people have the
longer coat version.

My company is currenty designing this exact same idea, and I hold
patent to it. Look for public release in late '06.

Thanks for the posts - good info I will check out.

We have plenty of life jackets on board to meet the requirements. But they
are just the 4-to-a-Box ones you get from West Marine. I'm thinking we
should have some decent ones on board. A friend used to have one that fit
