A Vessel Safety Check is a free courtesy examination of private recreational boats to verify the presence and condition of safety equipment required by state and federal regulations. The vessel examiner is a trained member of the U.S. Power Squadrons or the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary. Persons whose boats fail the examination are informed of all shortcomings so they may correct them and be given a chance for re-examination and the awarding of the decal. Instructor workshops are 10 hours in length and include all materials needed to successfully teach fishing skills.
Special assistance is available for school fishing clubs.
Instructor workshops include all materials, and each participant receives three activity books. Each child receives a membership card, a patch, stickers, activity sheets, a whistle for safety, a good luck hook, and a quarterly newsletter. All rights reserved.
