What is a Vessel Safety Check

     A Vessel Safety Check (VSC) is a courtesy examination (formerly known as 
     Courtesy Marine Examinations or CMEs) of your boat (or vessel) to verify 
     the presence and condition of certain Safety Equipment required by State 
     and Federal regulations. The Vessel Examiner (VE) is a trained specialist 
     and is a member of the US Coast Guard Auxiliary. The VE will also make certain 
     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.  The VE will supply you with a copy of the evaluation 
     so that you may follow some of the suggestions given.  Vessels that pass will be 
     able to display the distinctive VSC decal. This does not exempt you from law 
     enforcement boarding, but you can be prepared to make this a positive encounter.
