Legal safety equipment for recreational boats in South Australia depends on the type, size and where you operate; you must check the current SA government requirements for your vessel. Independently of legal minimums, carry a sensible set of recommended items (lifejackets, means of communication, signaling, fire protection, anchor and basic tools) and make them usable and maintained.

Choose an anchor type and size matched to your boat, seabed and expected conditions; set it by lowering steadily, backing down under power to bury the fluke or hook, and scope the rode to suit tidal range and wind/sea state. Regularly inspect your set and use trip lines or secondary anchors where risk of wind or current change is high.
