, Visually Distress Signals: - <<ANSWER>>Visual Distress Signals (VDSs) allow vessel
operators to signal for help in the event of an emergency. VDSs are classified as day
signals (visible in bright sunlight), night signals (visible at night), or both day and night
signals. VDSs are either pyrotechnic (smoke and flames) or non-pyrotechnic (non-
combustible).
Vessels on federally controlled waters must be equipped with U.S. Coast Guard-
approved visual distress signals. All vessels, regardless of length or type, are required
to carry night signals when operating between sunset and sunrise. Most vessels must
carry day signals also; exceptions to the requirement for day signals are:
Recreational vessels that are less than 16 feet in length
Non-motorized open sailboats that are less than 26 feet in length
Manually propelled vessels
VDSs must be U.S. Coast Guard-approved, in serviceable condition, and readily
accessible.
It is prohibited to display visual distress signals while on the water unless assistance is
required to prevent immediate or potential danger to persons on board a vessel.
