What causes TTR-FAP? Family genetics are the main cause of TTR-FAP. This means that there is a chance that the mutated gene that causes the disease can be inherited from one or both of your biological parents. And, if you carry the genetic mutation, there is a chance that you can pass it on to your children.
Chapter 3: Water Rescue Equipment. Minimum Equipment Required on Board Vessels. The Canadian Small Vessels Regulations and the International Regulations for preventing collisions (amended for Canada) require all boats to carry a minimum of safety equipment. The size of the pleasure craft determines the equipment required.
You must have at least one, U.S. Coast Guard approved, wearable PFD for each person onboard, and it must be the appropriate size. If your boat is 16 feet or longer (generally excluding canoes and kayaks but check your state's regulations) you must also have one throwable device (Type IV PFD).
