sible, and certified by the manufacturer as
complying with U.S. Coast Guard require
-
ments. They include:
Orange Distress Flag, Day Use
Only
The distress flag is a day signal only. It must
be at least 3 x 3 feet with a black square and
ball on an orange background. It is most dis-
tinctive when attached and waved from a
paddle or boat hook.
Electric Distress Light for Night
Use
The electric distress light is accepted for
night use only and must automatically flash
the international SOS distress signal. Under
Inland Navigation Rules, a high intensity
white light flashing at regular intervals from
50-70 times per minute is considered a dis-
tress signal.
Sound Signaling Devices
The navigation rules require sound signals to
be made under certain circumstances. Rec
-
reational vessels are also required to sound
fog signals during periods of reduced visibil-
ity. Therefore, you must have some means of
making an efficient sound signal.
Navigation Lights
Recreational boats are required to display
navigation lights between sunset and sun-
rise and other periods of reduced visibility
(fog, rain, haze, etc.) Navigation lights are
intended to keep other vessels informed of
your presence and course. Your Tiara Yacht
is equipped with the navigation lights required
by the U.S. Coast Guard at the time of man
-
ufacture. It is up to you to make sure they
are visible, operational and turned on when
required.
9.9 Additional Safety Equip-
ment
Besides meeting the legal requirements, pru-
dent boaters carry additional safety equip-
ment. This is particularly important if you
operate your boat offshore. You should con-
sider the following items, depending on how
you use your boat.
Satellite EPIRBs
EPIRBs (Emergency Position Indicating
Radio Beacon) operate as part of a worldwide
distress system. When activated, EPIRB’s
will send distress code homing beacons that
allow Coast Guard aircraft to identify and
find them quickly. The satellites that receive
and relay EPIRB signals are operated by the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Admin
-
istration (NOAA) in the United States. The
EPIRB should be mounted and registered
according to the instructions provided with
the beacon, so the beacon’s unique distress
code can be used to quickly identify the boat
and owner.
