Default Coast Guard Regs. on signalling devices.
I need some guidance!! I am confused about the USCG regulations regarding VSD's. I have a 20 ft. boat and occasionally venture out to open water such as Bay Raccourci. The regs. say that when I go in open water I need a signalling device(s). My question is, if I just go out in the daytime can I get by with just a CG approved flag, that is described in the regs. Or, do I need 3 flares whether I go in outside waters during the day OR night? Thanks for you help.
Tom
