Answer 1

When being towed behind a vessel on a waterski, you are not considered to be 'on board'. Generally, at least one approved PFD is required for the person on the waterski.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you're being towed behind a vessel on a waterski, you are not considered to be 'on board' the vessel.

In this scenario, there are four people in the boat and one on the waterski. The number of approved personal flotation devices (PFDs) required on board depends on the regulations and laws of the specific jurisdiction. However, in most cases, you would need at least one approved PFD for the person on the waterski.
