FYI, I just received an email from WM. This automatic inflatable pfd with harness is on sale tomorrow only (March 3) for $99.99 (50% off). If you sail shorthanded in big waters or an isolated area, you should be attached to the boat.

They did this two years ago, and I got one, for all the reasons Steve said. It's a great piece of gear, add a teather and you're all set. I haven't put in a jack-line yet, I just clip around the boom, mast, stanchion even a winch, whatever makes sense at the time.
