Faced with budget shortages, the United States Coast Guard has requested  the United States Power Squadrons to assist with US Coast Guard boating inspections which are conducted by the United States Coast Guard Auxiliaries.

Members of the Cape Lookout Sail and Power Squadron have undergone Coast Guard training and have been officially certified as U.S. Coast Guard Inspectors.  For the safety of all boaters, every boat should be inspected.  Upon successful inspection, your boat will be issued a "Vessel Safety Check" decal to be applied to your boat.  The inspection takes about 3o minutes and covers all the equipment necessary for "safe boating".

A message from the Cape Lookout Sail and Power Squadron:

    "For your convenience as a boater, you may contact me to arrange for a Safety Check which can be done at your home if your vessel is on a trailer or on the water in the boat slip.  We have 11 certified US Coast Guard examiners available."
