Welcome to the Buzzards Bay Sail and Power Squadron (BBSPS) and to the cruising waters of Cape Cod, the Islands, and Buzzards Bay. These waters should be familiar to those who have taken boating courses across the country that use the 1210TR training chart.

Given the opportunity to actually boat where you train on these beautiful yet challenging cruising waters, the Squadron promotes safe boating through educational programs and builds fellowship among the membership and boating community.

The Buzzards Bay Sail and Power Squadron was founded in 1962 as an offshoot of the Cape Cod Squadron, and now serves the Upper Cape Cod towns of Bourne, Cotuit, Falmouth, Mashpee, Wareham, Sandwich, and Plymouth. BBSPS provides a full educational curriculum as well as a wide range of activities providing members with the opportunity to socialize with others who share a common interest in boating. Please check the web page calendar for upcoming events including summer rendezvous'.

We welcome you to enroll in one of our Public Boating Courses, held each year in the Bourne and Falmouth areas. Upon completion of a Boating Course, we hope you will continue your boating education by joining the USPS and participating in one of the many educational programs ranging from Seamanship to Celestial Navigation. We also offer a number of elective courses including Cruise Planning, Marine electronics, Engine Maintenance, Sail and Weather.

As you browse through the website, you will notice it is frequently updated with information on events and squadron news. For your convenience, the website provides a number of links to sites of interest to boaters.

Thank you for visiting the BBSPS website and I hope you will join us at one of the many activities scheduled this year.

Good Boating,

Paul Tarr, AP

Commander, Buzzards Bay Sail and Power Squadron
