FoxTales

The USPS Mission is to provide leadership in recreational boating safety through education and civic activities while promoting fellowship for its members. We offer many carefully planned courses in subjects like Seamanship, Piloting, Plotting and Position Finding, Celestial Navigation, Cruise Planning, Engine Maintenance, Marine Electronics, Sailing, and much more. These courses are taught by experienced member instructors, and members who complete them are recognized. Join us on-the-water and off with fellow members who are skilled in boating. On-the-water activities include cruises, rendezvous, sail races, navigation contests and even fishing derbies. Activities ashore include meetings with marine programs, parties, dinner-dances, picnics and field trips.

We look forward to seeing you at our next meeting!

Boat Smart Course

To be announced soon

Boat Smart is a course for all boaters including personal watercraft operators, hunters or fishermen operating an outboard utility boat, canoe and kayak paddlers, skippers of a family cruiser, and sailing enthusiasts. All boaters must follow the same nautical rules, regulations, and courtesies of the sea. The course includes three main sections:

Getting Started: boat terms and types, boat handling, anchoring, water sport safety, personal watercraft

What's needed: equipment, regulations, law enforcement

Rules To Live By: aids to navigation, navigation rules, adverse conditions, marine radio

As boating is often a family activity, the course is of value to all members of a boating family. USPS encourages families to attend as groups.
