What is required onboard all human-powered vessels and boats 6m or less in length?

  1. A paddle per person

  2. A buoyant heaving line at least 15m in length

  3. A motor

  4. An anchor

The correct answer is: A buoyant heaving line at least 15m in length

A buoyant heaving line is required onboard all human-powered vessels and boats 6m or less in length in case of an emergency. A paddle per person is not enough to meet safety regulations as it does not provide a means of reaching other vessels or shore for help. A motor is not required for human-powered vessels and may not be feasible or desired by the operator. An anchor may not be sufficient in an emergency situation as it does not provide a means of reaching other vessels or shore for help.
