Kayaking at night

kbh · 05-09-2016, 10:18 AM

I have tried searching and have been unable to find the requirements for a kayak at night. Is this the same as for a power boat?

Certainly want a 360 degree white light but wasn't sure if the red/green nav lights were required or even a good idea. Since a kayak has limited maneuverability not sure I would want to be mistaken for a boat that could quickly change course.

I currently use a YakAttack VisiCarbon Pro flag/light combo but don't have red/green nav lights on the bow...

Any ideas?
