Richmond Sail and Power Squadron

A unit of United States Power Squadrons^®

Welcome to RSPS

Richmond Sail and Power Squadron is a member unit of the United States Power Squadrons®, situated within District 5 of the USPS®. The Squadron was founded in 1954, is based in Richmond, Virginia and holds boating activities over a wide area of the lower Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries.

We are a very active organization offering activities that appeal to a diversity of interests. Many members own boats, large and small, power and sail. Some members have no boat for the time being, but enjoy participating in our functions both on and off the water. Our common interest is a love of the water, boating, and the company of like-minded friends. Our aim is to promote and demonstrate safe recreational boating, to have fun and to increase our knowledge and skills.

Meetings are held on the fourth Monday of each month (except June & December) at West End Community Center, 8102 Ridge Road, Richmond. In addition to conducting squadron business, meetings are preceded by a social hour (occasionally also a light meal) and may also include a guest speaker. The program for each meeting is announced in our newsletter – “The Bullhorn” which is included elsewhere on this website. Guests are welcome at these meetings – just show up!

In addition to teaching boating classes, additional public service activities include vessel safety checks, cooperative charting, James River cleanup and support to other civic organizations.
