| The Hampton Roads Power Squadron is a non-profit organization, dedicated to safe boating education and promoting high standards of navigation and seamanship. The squadron is a unit of District 5 of the United States Power Squadrons (USPS) ®. The squadron has over 70 members, divided between power boaters and sailors. Several times a year we conduct boater safety classes for the general public, and throughout the year, we teach advanced and elective courses for our members. A member can progress from basic boating knowledge to advanced navigation through the comprehensive courses offered. Members can also take courses in marine electronics, sail, engine maintenance, cruise planning, weather, and many other specialty interests. |

SAFE BOATING does not just happen. If you are on the waterways, it is important to have basic boating knowledge, like "rules of the road". These rules will define who is expected to do what under any given situation, during normal operation of their boat, or in a crisis situation. You can learn all this, and more, by taking the classes offered by the Hampton Roads Power Squadron.
Upon completion of our course, consider joining the Hampton Roads Power Squadron
and continuing your boating education by taking many of the advanced courses
available. 
In addition, you can become part of a strictly volunteer, non-profit organization,
that has an objective of Self Education, being a Fraternal Boating Club,
and performing Civic Services. If you are a member of the United
States Power Squadrons who has moved into this area and want to transfer
to the Hampton Roads Power Squadron, please contact the Squadron Secretary.
You can save money, too! Many insurance companies offer discounts to boat
owners who have successfully completed this course.
