What are all vessels, regardless of length or type, required to have?

  1. Special permission to operate at night

  2. Night signals when operating between sunset and sunrise

  3. A GPS system

  4. An onboard mechanic

The correct answer is: Night signals when operating between sunset and sunrise

All vessels, regardless of length or type, are required to carry designated night signals. This is an important safety measure for boaters who may be out on the water after sunset or before sunrise. While special permission is required for certain vessels to operate at night, this is not a requirement for all vessels. A GPS system may be helpful for navigation, but it is not a requirement for all vessels. Similarly, while it is always recommended to have a trained mechanic onboard, it is not required for all vessels. Therefore, B is the correct answer as it applies to all vessels.
