The link to "How to Perform a VSC on a SUBS in the section "Conducting a Vessel Safety Check" in the USPS web site is broken.

I did find a good description of how to perform these checks in the Coast Guard Auxiliary site.  http://www.ratlines.com/VSCforSUBs.htm

Do these SUBS inspections qualify as a Vessel Inspection for reporting purposes ?  If so, will the on-line VSC reporting form accept an entry without a state registration number ?  Otherwise, how does it get reported ?

Richard,

 

We will get that link fixed. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

 

Yes, Sport and Utility Boats (SUBs) are eligible for a VSC and decal award.

 

Bob

MAKE A WISH FOUNDATION REQUIRES VSC's

We were recently contracted through the National VSC website to  
conduct a VSC on a boat in Kent County, MD.  The owner wished to

participate in the local Make A Wish Foundation program to take a

youngster and his/her parents on a boat ride on the Chesapeake
Bay.   
He was told that it was a requirement for his boat to have a
current  
Vessel Safety Check decal.  D/Lt Judith Ann (Judy) Gill (AP) did
the  
vessel examination and offered additional advise regarding taking

youngsters  aboard.  Even though we live in a suburb of
Philadelphia,  
we also list the zip code of our marina where we keep our boat
and  
were the nearest "registered" examiners to this trailerable boat.

We are not sure whether this is a local chapter, state or
national  
requirement, but we think that it would be a good idea for VSC  
Examiners to log onto the Make A Wish Foundation website <http://

www.wish.org/> and contact their local chapter (scroll down to
Local  
Chapter).  They could offer their VSC service to boaters wishing
to  
make a youngster's wish come true and tell them that boaters  
volunteering the use of their boats to log on to the National VSC

website at: <http://safetyseal.net/GetVSC/> for the name of an  
examiner to get a VSC.

Dear examiners

 

Paul Mayer [paul at safetyseal.net] or webmaster at safetyseal.net  encourages
folks to e-mail in their summer ZIP code and town.

 

Eg No point in being registered in Florida when your up in Harbor Springs
for the summer.

 

Sincerely yours

 

 

Markus Ritter AP

Webmaster and port captain for the

Door County Sail & Power Squadron

Sturgeon Bay, WI  the Cape Cod of the Midwest 

 

 

PS  If your home is some distance from where your boat is kept you are
encouraged to also
register the boat's ZIP code and town as that is likely to be where most of
the need is for examiners.

 

For details on multiple registration locations, go to
