What is required for small crafts like sailboards or kayaks if operated at night or in reduced visibility?

  1. A GPS device

  2. An anchor with at least 15m of rope

  3. A watertight flashlight

  4. EPIRB

The correct answer is: A watertight flashlight

A watertight flashlight is required because it is essential for safe navigation in reduced visibility. A GPS device is not necessary for small crafts like sailboards or kayaks, as they usually travel in relatively shallow waters close to shore and don't need GPS for navigation. An anchor with a rope of 15m is not necessary since small crafts like sailboards and kayaks usually don't require anchoring. An EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon) is not necessary for small crafts as they are only required for long-distance voyages or commercial vessels.
