Which begs the question... how would the authorities check to see
if a kayaker/kayak complied with those rules when they spot the
kayaker(s) a couple miles out?  It's easy for coastguard here to
check for pfd's onboard when passing by but how would the French 
authorities check to see if the boat satisfies the "cockpit rim 
above waterlevel when boat is fully flooded including hatches and 
all compartments" rule?
