Vessel
Safety Check
- Review the safety of your boat
- For additional information or to schedule a Vessel Safety Check for your boat, contact the Bellingham Sail and Power Squadron's Vessel Safety Check Committee Chairman, Merle Herrett at 360 815-7039.
A Vessel
Safety Check is a
courtesy
examination of your boat (Vessel) to verify the presence and condition
of
certain Safety Equipment required by State and the Federal regulations.
The
Vessel Examiner is a trained specialist and is a member of the United
States
Power Squadrons or the US Coast Guard Auxiliary. They will also make
recommendations and discuss certain safety issues that will make you a
safer
boater.
This is not boarding or a
law
enforcement issue. No citations will be given as a result of this
encounter. We
will supply you with a copy of our evaluation so that you may follow
some of the
suggestions given. Vessels that pass will be able to display our
distinctive VSC
decal.
Inspection
appointments are made by Merle Herrett, (360) 815-7039. Also look
for us on your dock during special events!
