The Kent Narrows Power Squadron is a unit of United States Power Squadrons (USPS) and a member of District 5 covering the Mid-Atlantic States. Our power and sail members are primarily from Queen Anne’s County, the home of the Kent Narrows, a popular water gateway for the Eastern Shore. The USPS is a non-profit organization dedicated to boating education, civic service and social activities. For membership information contact Jack Yeigh at 410-643-2106

Boating Education – classes

We offer a Basic Boating Course to the public, both in a classroom setting and as a home study course. For members there are a complete variety of advanced classes (Seamanship, Piloting, Navigation Sail, Marine Electronics, Weather, etc.) For information about courses
contact Scott Tompkins at 410-827-6230

Vessel Examination

The USPS supports the Coast Guard Recreational Boating Safety Program. Squadron members trained as Vessel examiners provide safety checks for interested boat owners. A vessel, which successfully meets the Coast Guard recommended standards, is awarded the Coast Guard Sticker for that year. To arrange a free vessel safety examination
contact Jack Hoffman 410-643-6472.

Civic Service

Our squadron is also interested in civic service. Related to boating we do chart updating as well as public education. We also do some general civic service, such as providing Christmas bags for needy senior citizens and road cleanup.

Squadron Activities

As we are all interested in boating, we hold boating rendezvous, have a variety of meetings with dinner and speakers, and generate an interesting and informative monthly newsletter. A boat is not necessary for membership.

Regular Meeting Schedule

Executive meetings are held on the first Tuesday of every month, at the Kent Island Yacht Club, 1900 hours. Regular meetings with buffet, when held, are also at the Kent Island Yacht Club, with social hour at 1800, and dinner hour at 1900.
