Winooski Valley Sail and Power Squadron
The Winooski Valley Sail & Power Squadron took form in May 1962 with 18 charter members . It is one of the nine squadrons that make up District 19 which has three squadrons in New Hampshire and five in Maine. The seven waves in the burgee represent the fact that Winooski Valley was the seventh to join the District. Presently, WVSPS has over 100 members concentrated mainly among the towns and cities on the Vermont shores of beautiful Lake Champlain -- the west coast of New England.
