Distress Equipment

Certain distress equipment is required to be carried on board pleasure craft at all times. This is so that you have it in the event of an emergency situation like a collision, a medical emergency or a mechanical breakdown. Situations like these are often unexpected but if they happen to you, you'll be happy to have your distress equipment when you need it most. 

Your boat’s distress equipment includes:

  • A watertight flashlight
  • Flares
