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 Marek Dziedzic 1994 C270 Legato Ottawa, ON
