in florida i am pretty sure we need nothing cause i have never heard of any one being pulled over or been pulled over myself. And why in ohio do you need a bailer when we have an auto bailer.Merrily said:In Ohio we are required to carry our boat registration, life jacket, dock line, have a bailer, whistle, and at night, a flashlight. No paddle is necessary in a Laser.

Having said that, I've not done any cruising, nor have I tried sailing at midnight... (why would you want to do that???)
Land of the Free? Sounds more like Land of the over-regulated... Where in a Laser are you supposed to keep 50' of floating line? Same place as the beer chiller, anchor etc I guess...
