The days are now drawing in, so it's worth a reminder that MAST regulations requires paddlers to display an all round white light before and after the published sunrise and sunset times respectively.For example sunrise on Tuesday 19 March 2024 is 7:12am and sunset is 7:24pm, so if you’re on the water before or after then on that day lights are required.Each year MAST receives complaints about paddlers on the water without lights when they are required to have them. MAST also conducts random patrols.The requirement to display lights applies to all forms of paddling, whether it be an early morning or late afternoon flatwater slalom training session or an ocean ski workout.......so please......LIGHT UP! ...
