US Coast Guard Auxiliary District 1 Northern Region (1NR), Division 10 is comprised of six flotillas located in Central Massachusetts. We're Flotilla 10-1 based in the Worcester area with members from the surrounding communities of Berlin, Gardner, Holden, Southbridge, Westborough, West Boylston, and Worcester.

WHAT DO WE DO?
We do a lot of volunteer work to teach and promote safe boating practices on Central Massachusetts lakes and rivers. These activities are the cornerstones of the Auxiliary. This is what we do:

PUBLIC EDUCATION

We offer single session and multi-session classes in the fall and spring depending on demand. Course cost covers materials. Completion of the About Boating Safely (ABS) is a minimal requirement in New England states (except MA and ME) to operate any recreational vessel. Our class schedule is posted on our event calendar or you can search the National Public Education Database for a class near you. learn more

• Worcester area classes: see our event calendar
• Specific locations in MA, ME, NH, RI: see the District's course schedule
• National: search the National Public Education Database for a class near you by zip

VESSEL SAFETY CHECKS FOR THE PUBLIC - FREE!

Make sure YOUR recreational vessel - canoe, kayak, paddleboat, personal watercraft, power boat, sail boat, any recreational boat - has all the safety equipment required by federal and state laws. On a trailer or in the water. During the late spring and summer months, you might see us at local launch ramps conducting the inspections. learn more

MARINE and PROGRAM VISITATIONS

We stay in close contact with area marinas, boat dealers, and any participating businesses that help to "spread the word" about boating safety and the Auxiliary's missions. Ask about us at your favorite boat place. learn more

OTHER ACTIVITIES
We are also involved in many other "behind-the-scene" Auxiliary activities, including Navigation Systems, and Marine Safety and Environmental Protection.
