The Darien Sail & Power Squadron(DSPS) is dedicated to civic service and education in matters having to do with safety on the water. Chartered in 1953, DSPS is committed to achieving and promoting high standards of navigation, seamanship, and safety by our personal conduct and performance on the water.

D2 has 15 different Squadrons with approximately 900 members who share boating knowledge and camaraderie.
DSPS is located on the Connecticut coast of Long Island Sound between the City of Stamford and the City of Norwalk. There are five harbors in the town: Holly Pond, Noroton Bay, Darien Harbor, Ziegler's Cove and Tokeneke Cove. Our almost 200 members live and work in Darien, New Canaan and many surrounding towns.
