What additional safety equipment is mandatory on boats between 12m and 24m apart from fire extinguishers?

  1. An EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon)

  2. One axe

  3. A life raft

  4. A VHF radio

The correct answer is: One axe

Other options such as an EPIRB, life raft, and VHF radio are not considered mandatory safety equipment on boats between 12m and 24m. These items may be helpful in an emergency situation, but they are not required by law. An axe may also be helpful in an emergency, but it is not related to safety and therefore is not considered mandatory.
