Vessel Safety Checks
As a public service, the Kalamazoo Sail & Power
Squadron provides boaters with a
free vessel safety
check
.  Our safety check is provided by a volunteer that
has been trained in Federal and Michigan Boating law.

Using a USCG approved check list, the examiner will look
for potential problems and help you find solutions. You
receive a copy of the checklist and if your boat passes
inspection you get a current year VSC sticker.

No report is sent any federal or state agency.
It's up to you to make any recommended changes.

The vessel examiners are out on the docks most
weekends and some are able to do VSC evenings or
week days.  

To schedule your safety check, or if you would like
further information, please call (269) 731-5601 or
email an examiner listed to the right.  

KSPS also plans to examine boats during our
annual Boats & Brats event
 in South Haven
usually the 2nd Saturday in June.  

Other USPS squadrons conduct Vessel Safety Checks
throughout Michigan and the United States.
