THE VESSEL SAFETY CHECK PROGRAM Cape Fear Power Squadron Be prepared for any emergency when you are afloat. Have a free courtesy vessel safety check to ensure that your vessel complies with both Federal and State safety requirements. The Vessel Safety Check program is one of many services provided by the Coast Guard Auxiliary and US Power Squadrons to promote boating safety. This is a check of the safety equipment carried or installed on a vessel and certain aspects of the vessel’s overall condition. If the vessel meets all requirements, the examiner will award a Vessel Safety Check decal. The VSC is not a law enforcement action. It is a public service provided in the interest of boating safety. Call your nearest Power Squadron or Coast Guard Auxiliary flotilla to arrange a vessel safety check. ...Boat Smart; Boat Safe; Take Control... $$
