Here is the boat safety question for this week. Question: What determines the safety equipment that I have to carry in a boat? The amount of safety equipment required on a boat is based on its length (specifically its overall length). The bigger the boat, the more safety equipment that it is required to carry. Length overall is the distance between the foremost and aft-most points of the hull (whether those points are above or below the waterline). Don't forget that the length of the vessel determines minimum requirements, it's always a good idea to carry a first aid kit, wind proof waterproof matches, bottled water as an extra precaution.Ê For more information on boating safety visit freecourse.caÊÊÊ Courses, testing and safe boating information and equipment are available at the Flin Flon Canadian Tire Store.
