I'm new to sailing and can't seem to find a complete list on what exactly I'm required to have on board a 36' sailboat. I've tried the Coast Guard web site and can't find it. I know that I need PFD's but what else? Thanks!

The Coast Guard has a list......
..... go to their web site and drill down to find what you need. Keep in mind you will most likley be a Powerboat by definition. Also, the coast Guard Auxillary or local boating enforcement will do a courtesy exam. They encourage boaters to participate by NOT turning in any violations.....they just give you a list of what you need, need to update, or need to replace. If starting from scratch, make sure you have the appropriate amount of Boat Units. Good luck......Jeff
