Hello,
This is a question to Canadian list members…
Has anyone researched the use of electronic flares (e.g., Sirius
C-1001) as a replacement for the pyrotechnic flares in Canada? So far,
I found that they can be used, but that they do not _/replace/_ the
need for the proper flares (6 or 12 of them depending on the boat length).
I know that in 2014 there was a movement to influence the change in
the Transport Canada rules, but I did not find anything that would
indicate that the change took place.
Of course, USCG accepts the eFlares as a replacement to pyrotechnic
flares, but this does not make any difference here.
I had a look and my flares expired, so I need to buy something. It
would be that much easier if I could buy an eFlare which has no
expiration date.
If you know anything on that topic, please share.
Thanks
