Canadian Boating Safety Course -Chapter 3 Exam Questions and Answers
Required Equipment - Answer -Different pleasure craft are required to carry different
equipment, depending on the type and length of the boat, as defined in the Canadian
Small Vessel Regulations. There are two main categories of pleasure craft in these
regulations:
Human-powered pleasure craft, which include canoes, kayaks, rowboats, paddleboats,
etc.;
Other pleasure craft, which include all motorized vessels as well as sailboats.
Equipment that must be carried onboard a boat is separated into four distinct categories
- lifesaving appliances, boat safety equipment, navigation equipment, and firefighting
equipment.
NOTE: A "power-driven vessel" is any vessel propelled by machinery as described in
the Collision Regulations, rule 3. A "Sailing Vessel" is any vessel under sail that
propelling machinery (if fitted) is not being used. Therefore, a sailboat propelled by a
