Suggested safety equipment, over and above the required equipment is:
ҏҏ First aid kit and manual
ҏҏ Boat hook
ҏҏ Tool kit
ҏҏ An adequate number and size of line should be on the boat. Bowlines should be at least 1/3
longer than the boat’s length and stern lines at least as long as the boat. When operating in areas
with unusually high tidal range, this should be lengthened. The minimum size line for a small boat
is 3/8” diameter 3-strand nylon. Refer to one of the listed references in the Appendix for a
complete discussion on line size relative to boat length.
ҏҏ Waterproof flashlight, with good batteries
ҏҏ Spare batteries
ҏҏ Spare boat keys
ҏҏ Binoculars
ҏҏ Tow line. This should be a minimum of 50’ long with at least one size increase over the boat’s
mooring lines.
ҏҏ Day/Night visual distress signals
ҏҏ Local charts and compass
ҏҏ Properly sized anchor and line
ҏҏ Fenders of the proper size
