Sid said: "I can do the "t" rescue in 45 to 60 seconds with the "victim" in a dry boat. " I would agree with the idea that someone who has experience with assisted rescues can get a wet paddlers back in there boat faster then a paddle float. The only time I really use my float is when showing students how to use them so speed isn't an issue. More importantly I find most people who do carry and use them don't use any type of a tether on them. If you've ever practiced using one when it's windy you'll find a blown up paddle float can really MOVE across the water once inflated.
