Founded
in 1953, the San Diego Sail & Power Squadron is a non profit,
educational organization dedicated to making boating safer and more enjoyable
by teaching courses in boating, seamanship,
navigation and related subjects, and performing free Vessel
Safety Checks.
SDSPS members are boating families who contribute to their communities
by promoting safe boating through education. We enjoy participating with
our fellow members in the classroom and on the water with activities such
as raftups, Sail Fleet Racing, and Cruiser Navigation Contests. We are
located in San Diego and serve most of San Diego County.
USPS, organized in 1914, has some 60,000 members organized into 450 squadrons across the country and in some US territories. USPS is one of America's largest non-profit boating organizations and has been honored by three US presidents for its civic contributions.
Each squadron's activities involve the three primary objectives of USPS:
- Boating Education
- Community Service
- Fraternal Boating
