Question 1901 Deck General

The correct answer is A) 1 ring life buoy. According to the regulations for small passenger vessels less than 65 feet in length, they are required to carry at least one (1) ring life buoy. This requirement is specified in Title 46 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), which outlines the safety equipment and lifesaving appliances that must be carried on board different types of vessels. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the regulatory requirement for this size of vessel. Vessels larger than 65 feet may need to carry additional ring life buoys, but for a small passenger vessel under 65 feet, the regulation clearly states that only one ring life buoy is required.
