What navigation equipment is mandatory for boats up to 9m and all human-powered pleasure craft?

  1. A radar system

  2. A magnetic compass, sound signalling device, and navigation lights

  3. An echo-sounder

  4. A GPS navigation system

The correct answer is: A magnetic compass, sound signalling device, and navigation lights

A magnetic compass, sound signalling device, and navigation lights are mandatory for boats up to 9m and all human-powered pleasure craft. This is because these navigation equipment are essential for safe navigation and communication with other vessels on the water. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they are not mandatory for boats up to 9m and human-powered pleasure craft. A radar system is not mandatory for smaller boats and a GPS navigation system may not be reliable in certain situations. An echo-sounder is not necessary for navigation in smaller vessels.
