Squadrons®,

sailing, dedicated to safer and more enjoyable boating
through education. We invite you to attend any one of
several boating safety classes that we offer in order to

you to apply for a reduction in your boat insurance.
Successful completion of the boat safety exam also
qualifies you for APS membership which offers a variety
of social and community service activities like raft ups and
party barge events on Lake Travis and cleanups of local
lakes as well as cooperative charting throughout the
district.
Advanced classroom instruction gives members continued
educational opportunities in subjects such as
Seamanship, Sailing (including on-board training), Cruise
Planning, Piloting, Advanced Piloting, Marine Electronics,
Engine Maintenance, Navigation and Weather. Other seminars
are offered throughout the year on a wide variety of

The Austin Power Squadron was chartered by 28 avid
boaters on September 11, 1961 and has grown to exceed 100
members. We are one of fourteen squadrons in District 21
which spans Texas and Louisiana and part of the United
States Power Squadron celebrating 90 years of continued
world-wide growth. Our pennant is the Lone Star Flag of
Texas with seven vertical blue and white stripes
representing the seven Highland Lakes of Central Texas.
Simply put, we are a non-profit, fraternal group of civic
volunteers dedicated to improving the safety of recreational
boating through education who have a lot of fun along the
way.
