Beaverton Sail & Power Squadron was chartered in 1975 in Oregon’s District 32 as an offshoot of the Portland Power Squadron and currently has approximately 75 members. Member education is stressed. Each year a variety of courses are offered to members ranging from Seamanship to Celestial Navigation as well as elective courses such as Engine Maintenance, Sail, Marine Electronics, Cruise Planning, and Weather. The Beaverton Sail & Power Squadron offers the Basic Boating Course to the public at least twice annually. In addition, members of the squadron participate in Cooperative Charting activities reporting chart corrections and additions to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. These changes assist in keeping charts up-to-date for other mariners. Other members can provide a Vessel Safety Check, which is sanctioned by the United States Coast Guard, so that you can know that your boat complies with the recommended safety standards for recreational boats. Opportunities abound for members to enjoy the friendship, camaraderie, and sharing of boating experiences with fellow members. Activities and cruises are planned for one each month. Social affairs are a regular part of the calendar with both on-water and off-water events. Beaverton, Oregon

Sailing classes & training for beginner through advanced sailors. Island Sailing School was founded in 1979 by Northwest sailors inspired to learn, explore and have fun sailing. They taught others to sail, more sailors joined and humble inspiration became a passion to create the Northwest’s best sailing school and club. What worked then, still works today: experienced instructors train students to the highest standards, sailors join our club to sail affordably, the fleet has grown, and we sail out of four NW locations.
