Lifejackets & PFD's

The rules governing the use of lifejackets on recreational vessels on all NSW navigable waters will be strengthened from 1 November 2010 to prevent loss of life on our waterways.

Rrequirements for canoes and kayaks:
People will be required to wear a lifejacket when in a canoe or kayak on:
  - enclosed waters when more than 100m from shore; or
  - ocean waters.

Members should be aware that for these rules apply to surf and ocean racing skis, which, for the purpose of these rules are considered a kayak.

More Information regarding the lifejacket reforms may be found on the NSW Government Maritime website.
