| A
Vessel Safety Check is a courtesy examination of your boat
(Vessel) to verify the presence and condition of certain Safety
Equipment required by State and the Federal regulations. The
Vessel Examiner is a trained specialist and is a member of the
United States Power Squadrons or the US Coast Guard Auxiliary.
They will also make certain recommendations and discuss certain
safety issues that will make you a safer boater.
This is not boarding
or a law enforcement issue. No citations will be given as a
result of this encounter. We will supply you with a copy of our
evaluation so that you may follow some of the suggestions given.
Vessels that pass will be able to display our distinctive VSC
decal. This does not exempt you from law enforcement boarding,
but you can be prepared to make this a positive encounter.
