sch.4-sec.113 Marking nets

A set mesh net being used during the day must be marked by— solid, light coloured floats no more than 20m apart along its length; and a solid, white float— no less than 15cm in any dimension; and with the primary boat mark for the net written on it at the end of the net that is the farthest from the primary boat; and with a radar reflector attached to it. Also, if a set mesh net is used at night, the net must be marked by— if the combined length of the net and equipment used to set it is no more than 50m— a white light, visible at least 400m in all directions, at its end farthest from the shore; and a solid, reflectorised float, no less than 15cm in any dimension, at its end nearest the shore; or if the combined length of the net and equipment used to set it is more than 50m—a white light, visible at least 400m in all directions, at both ends of the net. Also, if the net is being used in offshore waters, it must be marked by— 6 solid floats along its length, each not less than 15cm in any dimension; and a pole with an orange flag on it at least 2m above the water attached to its end farthest from the shore. sch 4 s 113 amd 2020 SL No. 236 s 26 (sch.4-sec.113-ssec.1) A set mesh net being used during the day must be marked by— solid, light coloured floats no more than 20m apart along its length; and a solid, white float— no less than 15cm in any dimension; and with the primary boat mark for the net written on it at the end of the net that is the farthest from the primary boat; and with a radar reflector attached to it.
