The Mid-Coast Sail & Power Squadron is a private non-profit organization with members who have a common interest in boating (whether sail, power, kayak, or armchair), and is the Mid-Coast Maine representative within District 19 of the United States Power Squadrons® national organization. The Mid-Coast Squadron's geography includes the Penobscot and Muscongus Bays, roughly extending from the towns of Waldoboro on the south to Belfast on the North. Active membership in the Mid-Coast Sail & Power Squadron is open to anyone 16 years and older who has passed the Squadron Boating Course (or equivalent), and who is able and willing to contribute time, energy, and skills to the objectives of USPS®.

The Mid-Coast Sail & Power Squadron promotes and supports our Boating Education courses and Community Service projects. To keep both of these afloat, we look to our Executive Committee for navigation and to our members to keep the Mid-Coast Sail & Power Squadron shipshape -- much of this through meetings, boating safety and education activities, and social gatherings.

Experienced instructors teach these and other courses:

• The Squadron Boating course
• Seamanship
• Piloting
• Advanced Piloting
• Junior Navigation
• Navigation
• Marine Electronics
• Weather
• Sailing
  

Our members help the National Ocean Service keep nautical charts accurate by reporting chart corrections. USPS squadrons offer boating safety courses and vessel safety inspections to the public throughout the year. Over the past 50 years, USPS has educated more than four million boaters.
