kayak question?

[johnl]

do you need to wear a life jacket in a kayak or a canoe?

[Pigeontroller]

Just like a powerboat, you have to have one on board. But in a Kayak or Canoe your chances of ending up in the water are much,much higher! So wearing it is wise!

[Rich]

Legally, no. It needs to be on board, that's it.

 

Common sense would state, yes - wear one. Both are very easy to tip.

thanks for the answer

Your going to need a few more items than life jacket to be compliant-get one of those kits with whistle, rope-bailing bucket at CT and put it in the kayak.

Next time your on the water..tip it over & try to put your jacket on after your up to your neck in it!

Paddle boats as well. Most people forget the life jackets when they are in them. The cops on our lake just love stopping the paddle boats.
