What safety equipment must human-powered vessels carry?

A manual propelling device
A bailer, manual bilge pump, or bilge-pumping arrangements
An approved lifebuoy
A buoyant heaving line of at least 10m

The correct answer is: A bailer, manual bilge pump, or bilge-pumping arrangements

Human-powered vessels, such as kayaks and canoes, must have certain safety equipment on board to ensure the safety of those on board. While options A, C, and D may all seem like appropriate safety equipment, they are not the required items for human-powered vessels. A manual propelling device, such as a paddle, may help keep the vessel moving, but it is not a necessary safety item. An approved lifebuoy is generally for larger boats and may not be useful or easily carried on a small, human-powered vessel. A buoyant heaving line may be useful for rescue situations, but it is not required for all human-powered vessels. So, the necessary safety equipment for human-powered vessels includes a bailer, manual bilge pump, or bilge-pumping arrangements.
