The Power Squadron provides support craft and personnel to assist the sailing and crew teams at home regattas as well as provide vessels for Academy public relations and staff cruises, to increase public awareness of the maritime industry and showing the flag. When not required for the above-mentioned functions, Power Squadron vessels are available for training cruises in and around Long Island Sound.
