29 Vessel Safety Check
Flotilla
29 is proud to participate in the Coast Guard Auxiliary's Vessel
Safety Check program. This program helps keep you and your
passengers safe, and the waters in Georgia a safe place to
boat. When you choose to have your boat inspected for safety, you
are doing your part of being a responsible boater.
This
program is
voluntary,
free
and
confidential.
The results are not
reported to any law enforcement or insurance agencies. You
cannot receive any citations. The program is to assist you in
determining if your boat meets federal and state safety equipment
requirements. Vessels that pass are awarded a Vessel Safety Check
decal, good for one year.
A Vessel
Examiner is an Auxiliary Member who has been specially trained to check
your boat for safety equipment. The items that are checked
include: Vessel registration numbering,
registration/documentation papers,
life jackets,
visual distress signals,
fire extinguishers,
ventilation
backfire flame arrestor,
sound producing devices, battery cover and connection
Note that
these same items are required by state and federal laws and, if
missing or non-operating, can result in a citation if your vessel is
inspected by the Coast Guard. The Vessel Safety Check offered here
gives you a risk-free way to check that you meet the legal minimums.
