I tend not to wear a lifejacket if rowing on rivers. On estuaries I wear one unless it is very calm. At sea I almost always wear it. I have not yet fallen in or capsized PicoMicroYacht, although I did capsize when sailing the fully rigged Pico in 2012.
The blog records the voyages of PicoMicroYacht, a seaworthy small sailing dinghy converted for rowing long distances. This includes the 26th July 2012 crossing of the English Channel, as well as rowing along the south coast of England, down the river Thames, around London and across Ireland. PicoMicroYacht is a converted Laser Pico Sailing Dinghy, with a sliding seat, riggers and cleaver oars, fitted with a shortened main mast and a mizzen mast and can be set up as a reduced rig sailing boat.
