In the USA, does a sailboat, 30.5 feet in length, without mechanical
propulsion require fire extinguishers?

Yes. Either 1 B-II or two B-I type fire extinguishers that are CG
approved.




Incorrect. It is not required if it is open.


Bzzzt. Incorrect. That exemption ends at 26 feet.

Bzzzt. Incorrect. Plus Stupid Points for saying Bzzzt when you're wrong.

Hint: read 46CFR25.30 *carefully*.


Bzzzt! Bzzzzt! Bzzzzt!

It says the only exception to the rule is motorboats under 26 feet with no
enclosed spaces. A 30.5 foot sailboat is not an open motorboat under 26 feet.
ALL boats over 26 feet require at least one B-II extinguisher or two B-I
regardless of whether or not they are open.

Bzzzt! Bzzzt! Bzzzt! Three more Stupid Points for Rusty. The clause
you're referring to is for "motorboats." As in "boats with motors."
There is no place where they mention sailboats.
