Do I need navigation lights on an inflatable

Re: Do I need navigation lights on an inflatable

last year I almost ran over a guy in a kayak at night....the only thing that saved him was my slow speed and he had an orange jacket on....what he was doing out on a salt-water bay at night was anyones guess. Please put lights on your inflatable so you don`t become a statistic.....by the way nothing against paddlers....I have 2 kayaks myself but I consider them to be fair weather ,daytime boats.

I will fit a set of lights, my 'A' frame is finished and mounted now, I will use a set of the battery powered lights as I won't be out during the night.

I just plan on doing some early morning fishing so will use the lights untill the sun comes up, so I would imagine they will be used for an hour tops

Regards
Dave

Hi and thanks for all your input. This is my 'A' frame with a single mast light.
