What do they call a single-handed sailor way offshore wearing a pfd?

An optimist!

Thanks to all for your input -  do you have any suggustions for a particular
brand?  I've decided to get an off shore type with greater buoyancy but the
price ranges in the West catalog are pretty extreme - from $70 to over
$150 - any other sources?  I noticed that some of them have harnesses, which
apparantly means a few sewn in metal rings to be attached to safety lines.
Are those just for sailors or what.  Someone esle mentioned a shorty to not
interfere with the skirt. -  Any brand in particular?
TIA
Alice
