The answer to this question depends under what jurisdiction you paddle, i.e. the part of the world. In Canada kayaks, canoes, rowboats etc. are not required to have the red and green running lights. The only requirement for those is to carry a white, waterproof lightsource (flashlight) when operating in poor visibility conditions (dark, fog etc.). And even that is afaik only required on bodies of water which a navigable and under CCG/DOT jurisdiction. On the local pond and lake one can likely do and carry whatever pleases. In other parts of the world the rules may be different Ulli *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
