evening renegade

what safety equipment is needed in boats these days
as my boat is old and probably does not have any suitable equipment

[Renegade]

There is no official kit for these days as they are a rally, but general seaworthyness is a must as well as emergency equipment, and of course common sense. Basically all good all round boating preparation.

so in my reckoning i need
lifejackets
radio
some form of gps
helmet
flares

am i missing anything

the boat is seaworthy as is the engine

[Renegade]

Again, no set in stone rules, but all you have mentioned is good practice and prep.

In a poker run helmets are optional and most people don't bother
