I'm so close to my dream job, I can taste it. My title would be Boating Safety Officer. My next step is to do a test that will include Boating Safety, Rules and Regulations. What a better place to study then online with fellow boaters!! Please ask me boating safety, rules and regs and I will try to answer them as best as I can!! Wish Me Luck!! |

I do not know of ANY body of water in the USA that does permit a boat at nite without lights. I have done it but it is stupid and dangerous, also I do NOT recommend a motor on a hobie. |

Before you go sailing (or kayaking) at night you should look over the USCG's Colregs. It is legal to sail at night...the requirement to have a steaming light or for that matter the traditional red & green side lights will be based on how large your boat is and the local authorities maritime laws in conjunction with those of the USCG. Most of the time the basic requirement (small boats without a combustion motor) is to have a working white light which can be turned on and made visible in time to prevent collision. |

In South Dakota, you need red& green lights on the bow or bows, and a white light on the stern at least 3 feet off the water. I do think it is dumb to sail without lights, but at any rate it is just about the most fun you can have on a hobie, especially flying on the trap , at night.

yeah, you're right....got side tracked. Here goes Trigg- If a large powerboat with limited maneuverability is coming down a navigational channel inside a marina and you're on your Hobie 16 tacking left & right working your way out of the marina for a day sail who has to yield the right of way to avoid collision? |

You are out on the Police boat at night and you see another boat crossing your bow in the near distance. The boat displays a red light which you can see. What are you supposed to do? If all you see from the other boat at night is a white light, which direction is the boat headed in relation to yours? |
