Flare Set for Kayak

[Donaven]

Hi Guys,

I Am looking for a flare kit for my kayak that I purchased recently. Do you guys know who is the cheapest here in Durban at the moment? Many Thanks

I don't think you'll find much cheaper than seaport - try get the one with pencil flares and smoke in one unit, they are great all purpose devices.

Maybe try killer deals?

 

[Donaven]

are you referring to this one?

killer deals

Check the expiry dates, cheaper ones often are cheaper because they are close to expiry. Ive always found seaport very good and the one you want is much more compact than what is in your picture

Try Wade line Marine in DBN their prices are great.

Viking Safety Equip. in Jacobs are the cheapest. All shops get their stock from them. Last set I bought for flare/smoke cost me R278.

Hi Donaven, the pic is of a cat C kit, you need less for a kayak.

 

[Donaven]

Thanks Hammer, I believe you just need 1 orange smoke and 1 red flare for a kayak.. its R350 at seaport and it expires in 2016

Hi Donaven I just got my new flares yesterday in the post and are dated 04/14 to 04/17 and 06/14 to 06/17.
Give Kim Wade a call on 0833204285, he is very helpful.

 

[Donaven]

called Kim today, he doesn't stock the combination flare which is required for a kayak.

I did however manage to get the flare from Viking for R256.50 incl vat the expiry is 12/2016.

Seaport is R315 and the expiry is 12/2016 aswell.

So thanks a lot for the assistance guys, learned a thing or two with regards to buying flares.

Cant wait to give the kayak a go!!ad::

If you are fishing anywhere except harbours you need PENCIL FLARES. That is the SMASA and SAKFA regulation. There are +/- 10 shots in a box. The harbour master / Durban  club say you need hand held flares and a smoke marker as that is a small craft regulation which you must follow if fishing in the Port Autority area. Bottom line is that if you are out at sea someone needs to see you. Flares do the job perfectly.
