The U.S. Power Squadrons is not related to the Coast Guard. It is an independent organization whose sole mission is to teach small-boat handling, free of charge, to anyone willing to attend its classes.

Though free navigation courses are offered by the Coast Guard's Power Squadrons, Simonsen correctly guessed that many aspiring boatmen would prefer studying in their own homes, and at their own speed. To accommodate people who "want to buy a boat this winter and sail it to Hawaii next summer," he devised two simplified courses in celestial and coastwise navigation, both of which can be completed in as little as three months...
