    Over the years, the Oyster Bay Power Squadron (OBPS) has participated in many community events.  Like back in 1976, Oyster Bay members volunteered their time, energy, and boats to ferry people out to the tall ships stately anchored in our harbors during the 1976 Operation Sail.  As we grow so did our name. We added Sail because so many of our members enjoyed sailing not only around Long Island  but to ports of foreign call from Canada to the Caribbean.  Since then we are know as the Oyster Bay Sail and Power Squadron (OBSPS) but affectionately we call ourselves the CLUB.  
     In recent years the OBSPS has been invited, by town officials, to spearhead the cleanup efforts associated with Ocean Conservancy’s International Coastal Cleanup program; which is the world’s largest volunteer cleanup effort.  Volunteers from the Club worked diligently with the Town and other community organizations:  Sagamore Yacht Club, USCG Auxiliary, Atlantic Steamers, Boys and Girls Scouts of America,  all gathered together to clean up our beaches and waterways.  .    
        Since its inception, the Club has been honored with many awards and trophies.  Among the honors to date are the Haedrich Memorial Trophy, the Prince Henry Trophy, District 3s Cooperative Charting Award the Jerrad Memorial Trophy (for the outstanding teaching) and many more. 
     We are proud of all our awards, but the squadron gains its greatest fulfillment by bringing safe boating information to our members and the community as a whole.  As pleasure boating and PWC’s gain in popularity, it brings with it increased harbor congestion and the potential of danger on the water.  Teaching America’s Boating Course, advanced grades and seminars, helps the Club bring the needed education to experienced and new boaters, alike.  
    Teaching Safe Boating, Community Service and Fellowship - all play a major role in our CLUB.  From helping others in their efforts to raise money for cancer care, to cleaning up our shore line, the Oyster Bay Sail and Power Squadron is ready to lend a hand.  The Club welcomes new member and hopes you will sign up for a class today or join our Club and be part of the fun.
