NSPS can enhance your fun both on and off the water, help you improve your boating skills. We welcome boaters of all kinds, including kayakers, PWC users, and even “boatless boaters.” Members can participate as much or as little as they want.
Take a minute or two to answer a few questions -
Does the stress and grind of my daily life leave me as soon as I leave the dock?
Do I like being on the water?
Am I interested in becoming a better boater?
Would I enjoy spending time with other families who enjoy boating? Would my family enjoy raft-ups, BBQs, boating with other caring, friendly boaters?
Do I think boating safety is important?
Would I like to know more about boat handling?
Would my family enjoy boating even more if I knew more about boat-handling? Navigating? Weather? My engine? Docking? Anchoring?
Am I getting the most out of my GPS? AIS?
Would I like to have more "local knowledge" about my home waters?
Do you have your Connecticut Safe Boating Certificate? (If not, check out our Boating Classes or send our Squadron Education Officer an email to find out when the next class is scheduled.)
Would you like to attend one of our events as a guest to sample the waters before diving in? Then contact our commander for a personal invitation. (See home page for offers and email addresses.)
