Q

How many ring life buoys must a small passenger vessel, of less than 65 feet in length, carry?

🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR Subchapter T requirements for small passenger vessels • Table for ring life buoy requirements based on vessel length • Difference between equipment required for very small boats vs. larger small passenger vessels

💭 Think About

• First, decide which length category in the CFR table a vessel of less than 65 feet falls into. • Think about whether a vessel just under 65 feet is treated the same as a very small boat under 26 feet, or if it falls in a higher requirement bracket. • Compare how the number of ring life buoys changes as vessel length increases—does it stay the same, increase by one, or increase by more than one between size categories?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm you are looking at the correct subchapter for small passenger vessels (Subchapter T). • Verify the exact length ranges in the ring life buoy table (e.g., under 26 ft, 26–<65 ft, 65 ft and over). • Double‑check that you are reading the ring life buoy column, not life jackets or other lifesaving appliances.
