SAFETY-9
Voluntary Safety Inspections
The United States Coast Guard Auxiliary and boating
offi cials in many states offer courtesy safety inspec-
tions of your yacht at no charge to you. They will
examine your yacht for compliance with all safety
standards and required safety equipment. You may
voluntarily consent to one of these inspections and
you are given suffi cient time to make necessary
corrections without fear of prosecution for any dis-
crepancies found. Contact your local United States
Coast Guard Auxiliary or appropriate state agency
for details concerning these courtesy safety inspec-
tions.
