what buoyancy aid to get
As you may know, I have a sailing dinghy and since last year I've made some new friends, some of which would like to go sailing with me. BUT a couple of them are considerably smaller than any of the people who I took last year.
This where the problem begins. I am just over 65kg and my B.A. is for 60-70kg which fits me fine. But my dad's is 70+kg.
Having said that, one of my friends is about the same weight as me, and TBH I don't think my dads fits either of us properly even though it's only a few kg over. BTW this is the friend who'll probably go sailing with me the most.
Plus I have one or two friends who are just under 50kg but most fit into the 50-60kg range (I would think)
Would getting a 50-60kg be the best option? (would this still be ok for my ~47kg friend?)
I want my friends to be safe and I only ever take people out who can swim but I only want to have to buy one more.

I know that one of my friends would be perfect in a 40-50 but she's very nearly 50kg and it's safer to make sure you tightly do up one that's slightly too big than have one too small and it's restrictive. And I think everyone else should fit into the 50-60 or 70+ one . . .
