As well as PFDs, our yachting gear includes sailing gloves. These have light leather on the palms, neoprene backs, cut off fingers and velcro wrist fastenings. They give a great grip (or slip for the feathered) on the paddle, stop blisters forming on soft hands, and the half inch or so of fingers still exposed gives the sensitivity required for fiddly work. When the finger ends start getting cold we put on polypropylene gloves, then the sailing gloves on top, giving extra warmth but still good grip. If it gets colder, then out come the pogies.
