johnl Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 do you need to wear a life jacket in a kayak or a canoe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigeontroller Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Legally, no. It needs to be on board, that's it. Common sense would state, yes - wear one. Both are very easy to tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zamboni Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
