The Everett Sail and Power Squadron will be offering courtesy Vessel Safety Checks to all marina tenants twice this year:  Saturday, April 14 and Saturday, May 12. Examiners will
be available both days from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m..  The sign-up booth will be located on the
South Marina promenade near AquaTrek (the former Marina Office).

The examiner is a trained specialist and is a member of the United States Power
Squadron or the US Coast Guard Auxiliary.  In addition to checking required safety items, they 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 as 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  the check will be able to
display our distinctive VSC decal.  This does not exempt you from law enforcement
boarding, but you can be prepared to make this a positive encounter.  We're looking
forward to seeing you again this year."
