CRAPPIE Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Do I have to put two paddles in a boat or you just need one paddle. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey buoy Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Not sure,but if you have two,easier to keep the boat straight. I've always seen two.Not sure what the law requires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitty55 Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 It used to be that 1 paddle was legal. Not anymore, you need two. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Only one is needed. http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/marinesafety/debs-obs-equipment-size-menu-690.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Only one is required OR an anchor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickingfrog Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 ...With at least 50 feet of rope/chain I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 ...With at least 50 feet of rope/chain I believe. It says either, both not required, but, it doesn't hurt, kinda hard to anchor a boat with a paddle or row ith an anchor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisherman Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Well I'm sure Roy meant with the rope, another kinda hard to hold the anchor and boat when your more than an arms length apart.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickingfrog Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 It's also hard to anchor a boot in even 40 feet of water with only 5o feet of rope. I always figured it was so that as a unpowered boat got close to shore the anchor would finally "catch". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitty55 Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 I totally stand corrected. I thought for sure that had changed. I want two anyway, for dual paddling in case of trouble. As if a single paddle could do very much saving a heavy boat in a strong wind anyway. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
