Whenever you leave the dock or put your boat in the water, you are required by law to have safety equipment onboard. The equipment you need depends upon the size of your boat and what makes it go.
Boats are catagorized by class, based upon their length overall:
less than 16 feet | 16 feet to less than 26 feet |
26 feet to less than 40 feet |
40 feet to less than 65 feet |

Okay . . . so now you know what class your boat is,
what equipment do you need to carry when you go boating ?
