Wouter-
<br>
<br>I would just reword slightly-
<br>
<br>One lifejacket per
<br>person, worn during sailing, and conforming to the rules of the local authority.
<br>
<br>One distress whistle per person; fitted to the lifejacket.
<br>
<br>At least one knife, suitable to cut the lines found on board.
<br>
<br>In addition, the organizers of an event may require participants to carry additional safety equipment (such as towlines, compasses, throwable flotation devices, paddles, etc.).
