Meriden Masthead

The Meriden masthead is published nine times a year. It contains a "Year at at Glance" calendar for member's  reference, officers reports, upcoming events and flyers for major events.

Power Boating
The mainstay vessel of the squadron is a cruising powerboat capable of a weekend sleep over. Length varies from 30 to 40 feet, but there are many boats under and over this range. On the low end, members have taken a 20 foot Cuddy across Long Island Sound for a weekend at Greenport, while other boats on the longer end travel to Florida and back via the Intra-Coastal. The Squadron and District on-water rendezvous are usually held within the waters of Long Island Sound and are easily navigated to by boats in thisrange.

Sailboats
Sailboats are in the distinct minority in the Meriden Power Squadron. However, the sailors are a very skilled and vocal group! Despite the low number of sailboats, the venue is alive and well. Many power boaters have sailing backgrounds and some active sailors have extensive sailing experience in the Long Island Sound waters, including racing experience on larger boats. If you are interested in learning about sail boats and how they handle, take the Power SquadronSailcourse taught by one of our own racing sailors. The course is a must for every power boater.
