Uninspected vessels must have one approved ring life buoy on board if the length is over how many feet?

A 6 feet
B 16 feet
C 26 feet
D 36 feet
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 26 feet. According to the U.S. Coast Guard regulations, uninspected vessels over 26 feet in length must have at least one approved ring life buoy on board. This requirement is outlined in 46 CFR 25.25-5, which specifies the life-saving equipment needed for uninspected vessels based on their length. The other options are incorrect because: A) 6 feet is too short, B) 16 feet is too short, and D) 36 feet is longer than the 26-foot threshold specified in the regulation.
