Safety Flares
Please consult Government regulations as they apply to your yacht and your area.
11.9
Fog Signals and Radar Reflectors
Both of these items are extremely important if sailing conditions deteriorate and visibility is restricted.
Foghorns of the canister pressure type are good. Spare canisters should be carried aboard, and the "lung
power" type makes a reliable back up.
Sailboats may not be identified well on radar, therefore a radar reflector is a must. These can be purchased
commercially. The radar reflector should be stored carefully to prevent damage because the performance
of the unit is directly related to the accuracy of the intersect angles of the component planes.
11.10 Anchor
The type and quantity of anchors carried will
vary from region to region according to the sea bottom
conditions. Each anchor should include an adequate size and length of line along with chain to ensure that
the anchor lies properly and penetrates the bottom. Chain, also, is immune to chafe from bottom
structure such as coral.
