What must boats over 9m and up to 12m in length have as part of their equipment?

  1. A buoyant heaving line of at least 10m in length

  2. A manual bilge pump

  3. An approved lifebuoy attached to a buoyant line at least 15m in length

  4. A watertight flashlight

The correct answer is: An approved lifebuoy attached to a buoyant line at least 15m in length

Boats over 9m and up to 12m in length are required to have an approved lifebuoy attached to a buoyant line at least 15m in length as part of their equipment. While option A and B are also mandatory for boats over 9m in length, they are not specific to boats between 9m and 12m. A manual bilge pump may be necessary in case of flooding, but it is not required for boats in this length range. Option D, a watertight flashlight, is also not a requirement for boats of this size. Therefore, option C is the only correct answer.
