-----Original Message----- From: PeterO [SMTP:rebyl_kayak_at_iprimus.com.au] <snip> Do the US regulations require a throw line per boat or just one per group? *************************************************************************** I don't know of any legal requirement to carry a throw line in the U.S. I think even the Canadian rule is only a few years old. BTW, I was told that Americans from south of the border are not required to follow Canadian throw line or PFD color rules in Canada, unless their stay exceeds a certain length of time, which I can't remember. Does anyone know how far a heaving line can be thrown from a seated position in a kayak? It certainly is not a skill taught in any sea kayaking class I have been in. Hmm. Maybe I should dig out my old whitewater throw bag and try it myself.
