Scotty,
A Snark that actually gets sailed would be a better choice
than any boat that bobspit uses for bragging on the Internet.

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.

So, your contention is that there are no regulations for sailboats?
Sailboats
over 26 feet do not have any CG requirements for safety equipment?
Okay Jaxie!
