Classes
Education is a very important item with the Squadron and each year many classes are taught to enhance each member’s knowledge of Seamanship. Public Boating Classes are offered to the general public twice a year free of charge except for the cost of the text. As a service to the public, this helps the Squadron to maintain our nonprofit status. Once you are a Squadron member, there are many classes available to broaden your knowledge. The Duluth Squadron has won the Prince Henry award for teaching excellence.
