My father liked these, he bought me one probably 30 years ago, and I have a
couple others, plus a vest float coat. They are all Stearns.
Like Jim says, they are more for cooler days, as they can get hot,
probably good for Ice Boating.
As a sad side note to this, my work neighbor just drowned

Thanks for all the replies!
I sail on Ghost Lake in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains of Alberta.
Obviously it’s fresh water and cold as the lake is glacier fed from the
mountains. I never have growth on the prop and I don’t think lubrication would
make much difference. But I was wrong once
Did you mean 80F? 80C would be tough sailing.Ron

I wear a harness and tether over the float coat, works just fine.

I used them while sampling water through the ice when I was working. That was
9yrs ago. But they are great; don't need anything but a wool shirt under them
and relatively flexible. And that's here in the cold interior of the
country.Unfortunately, we can't sail well when the lake is frozen
I have one. It's comfortable, great for warmth and offers decent flotation.
I think there is still an advanced model from mine that comes with a
beavertail sewn in so it doesn't ride up.
I wore it on night watch on the way down to San Francisco and coming back
from Hawaii.
The only thing is that

They are still a thing. I use this full suit and have never been cold with
it. Knock on wood, I haven't had to try it in the water. Around here guys
use them for deer hunting too.

Water here in NS is cold and salty. Some barnacles attach themselves to the
hub during summer water at my mooring can reach 80C

It occurred to me while sailing yesterday my inflatable PFD
A harness and tether is my choice. I am hoping it will keep me on the boat.

Post haul / Pre-launch I clean up the blades and gears of any growth and coat
the gears / pins with “waterproof” grease. Might guess any grease wears off in
very short order, but a have a can of the grease so might as well use it.

Generally, the idea is not to fall off (treat it as a 900 ft drop) (:-)
I know that this can easily start a long and protracted discussion. Sorry.

It occurred to me while sailing yesterday my inflatable PFD would only do so
much good if I fell off the boat into 40 degree (or less) water. Ages ago
while sailing in San Francisco we had these cool Mustang combo foul
weather./flotation coats that kept you warn and hopefully buoyant if you
fell
