A Brief History of the
Coastal Bend Sail and Power Squadron

The Coastal Bend Sail and Power Squadron was chartered in 1956 and at that time was called the Corpus Christi Power Squadron. Our squadron is an off shoot of the Houston Power Squadron which assisted us greatly in our organization. Sydney R. Julian, N was our original Commander followed by Scott Skinner, AP, who in 1960 became our squadrons first District 21 Commander.

Corpus Christi Texas is located in the Southeastern part of Texas on Corpus Christi Bay. Our bay is filled with wonderful sea life and our City by the Sea is a great place to live or visit. Our Marina is only 30-60 minutes from the Gulf of Mexico with several nice ports along the way.
