Notes:
Can Openers are listed in this appendix because of the fact that jackknives can take the place of can openers.
* § 194.175(5) allows jackknives to take the place of a can opener
**The proposed rule would remove the separate requirements for knives and jackknives and would, instead, require that all survival craft could be equipped with either knifes or jackknives.  For inflatable liferafts, if the passenger capacity is greater than 13 people then 2 jackknives are required
*** According to § 70.10 - 43, a short international voyage is an international voyage in the course of which a vessel is not more than 200 miles from a port or place in which the passengers and crew could be placed in safety.  Neither the distance between the last port of call in the country in which the voyage begins and the final port of destination nor the return voyage may exceed 600 miles.  The final port of destination is the last port of call in the scheduled voyage at which the vessel commences its return voyage to the country in which the voyage began.
