Boater's Safety
Even if you pay careful attention to safety, dangerous mechanical problems can
crop up on the best- maintained boat. That’s why the U.S. Coast Guard recommends
that all recreational boaters take advantage of the free Vessel Safety Check program
every year.
Vessel Safety Checks are offered by experienced members of the U.S. Coast Guard
Auxiliary and the United States Power Squadrons, two of the nations premier volunteer
boating safety organizations. York Road Marine can also perform this inspection for a small charge. A Vessel Safety Check is your best way of learning about problems that might put
you in violation of state or federal laws or, worse, create danger for you or your passengers
on the water.
You can find an examiner near you by going to www.vesselsafetycheck.org and click on
“I Want a VSC”.
You can also do an on-line interactive Safety Check by going to U.S. Coast Guard boating web site: www.uscgboating.org and go to the safety tab, you will see the Online Vessel Safety Check.
