I was just asked by my kid about the law on life jackets while kayaking. I told him under 13 you need to wear one, and over that it needs to be in the kayak.
“Where’s it say that?”
Found and showed him the RSA 270 about 13 and under.
“Where’s it say you need to carry one?”
“………”
I looked, and can’t find anything that says I need one. Besides “common sense” anyway.
Does anyone know for certain if you are legally required to have a kayak in a non motorized kayak?
Mine is zip tied to the bungee cords, so don’t tell me it will save a life, it won’t. I’m just wondering if I can stop the pretense without incurring a fine.
