Is it against the boating law to Have an inflatable PFD readily accessible but not worn?
Boating regulations vary from state to state, so it is important to check the regulations within the state that you are boating. Many states allow you to have PFDs accessible but not worn when boating, kayaking and/or canoeing. Most Inflatable PFDs are US Coast Guard approved - the same as non-inflatables. Therefore, you will probably only hear that you have to wear/not wear USCG approved vests. However, most boating deaths can be attributed to the boater, kayaker, etc. not wearing their PFD/Life Vest. Inflatable PFDs are designed to be lightweight and convenient to wear - that is to encourage you to wear the vest at all times. It is extremely difficult to put on a PFD when you are already in the water, if in fact, you can access - get to your vest - once you have already entered the water. Inflatable PFDs are now coming in attractive colors, to also encourage you to wear them.

Why would a raft lose its firmness when placed in cold water and how could the problem be fixed?
Boyle's Law says the temperature, pressure and volume of a gas are all related - if the temperature of a gas decreases, the pressure will also decrease. You can't "fix" the problem because it's not a problem, but a basic law of physics. You can get around it by pumping the raft up harder than you think it needs to be; when the pressure goes down it'll still be hard. Or you can put the raft in the water then pump it back up when the temperature stabilizes.

Are PFDs necessary when sailing?
In the US, it's the law: I've seen the Harbor Patrol specifically request visual verification that each person aboard has a PDF. I hope that "when the time comes" you are already wearing yours as it's difficult to retrieve from a latched box and put on while treading water :)
