Vessel Safety Checks (VSC)
The Winnetka Park District is pleased to be partnering with the US Coast
Guard Auxiliary Flotilla 03-06 to provide complimentary Vessel Safety
Checks at Lloyd beach! Examiners will be on site at a variety of times
throughout the season as well. The Vessel Safety Check is a complimentary
check of your boat conducted by members of the United States Coast
Guard Auxiliary, confirming that it meets both federal and state
requirements for safety. No citations are issued and the results of the
safety check are not reported to any enforcement agency, but a decal is
awarded to display if the vessel has passed the examination.
An example of some of the items checked include:
-
Personal Flotation Devices (life jackets)
-
Registration and numbering
-
Navigation lights
-
Ventilation
-
Fire extinguishers
-
Distress signals (flares, horn, etc.)
-
Battery cover and connections
\All of these items are currently 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 gives you a risk-free way to
check that you meet the legal minimums and to potentially avoid a citation
later.
