 The Coast Guard Auxiliary offers free vessel safety checks (VSC)
to boaters. The VSC is a courtesy
examination of your boat to verify the presence and
condition of safety equipment required by federal and state
regulations. The vessel examiner is a trained Auxiliarist
who is kept informed on the latest legal requirements for
boaters.
These safety checks are meant to be an educational
experience. The Vessel Examiners will check for all required
required items on board your boat and if everything is
present and in good working order, they will award a decal
to affix to your boat. If you wish, they will also gladly
explain the reason for the various safety equipment
requirements and explain how safety equipment works.
Flotilla 20-06 has done over 344 VSCs so far this year!
