Vessel Safety Check- Your "Seal of Safety"

Will your vessel pass a U.S. Coast Guard Safety Equipment Check? Have a FREE "no risk" safety check of your boat's required equipment by one of our Vessel Examiners. We will go over your safety equipment with you "one on one" and explain what you are required to have on board. When you pass the safety check, you will receive a "Vessel Safety Check" sticker to be affixed to your vessel to demonstrate your commitment to boating safety. The VSC does not guarantee that you may never be boarded by the USCG or local law enforcement. It does serve to ensure that you meet all applicable Federal and local safety equipment standards. No information from the Vessel Safety Checks is passed on to other agencies or law enforcement branches of the USCG. It is chiefly for your safety and peace of mind. CALL EDITH WALLENBECKER @ 545-5701 TO SCHEDULE A VESSEL SAFETY CHECK.
