Lake Norman Sail and Power
Squadron® is
a unit of United States Power Squadrons,
District
27, which covers North Carolina and North Central South Carolina.
United
States Power
Squadrons®
has units in all of the United States and its territories.
We are a non-profit, fraternal
organization whose purpose is to promote high standards of seamanship and
navigation and safe boating for all. Our squadron, located in the beautiful Lake
Norman, NC area, includes sail and power boats. We currently have over 140
members. Several times a year, we teach
our Public Boating Safety classes
- America's Boating Course -
for the general public. (These
classes are approved for certification to operate Personal Watercraft by
persons 14 to 16 years of age in accord with N.C. State law.) Squadron members
are eligible to take our advanced
courses taught by qualified instructors. These begin with basic seamanship
and continue on through piloting, advanced piloting, junior navigation to the
advanced classes in navigation. Elective
courses available for member participation include marine electronics, sail,
engine maintenance, cruise planning, weather, and many other areas of boating
interest. Members also participate in special boating safety programs and civic
activities working toward the improvement of boating safety conditions.
In addition to this, we have a very active social
schedule filled with fun. You are invited to come and join us.
