Your English is excellent. Where is .nu? Your view 
of PFD requirements appeals to me, too.

"An inflatable PFD takes very little room,
isn't warm, and can be equipped for
automatic deployment - a simple line
connected to the kayak will usually do!"
I wear an inflatable vest PFD. When this wears 
out, probably due to UV damage to the outer cloth, 
I'll be getting a yoke style inflatable PFD. Have 
you tested this tether system? I am a bit wary of 
tethering the PFD inflation mechanism to the boat. 
How long is the tether? Where is it attached to 
the boat?
