(41.271372) Since its creation by Congress in 1939, the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary (the Auxiliary) has served as the civilian, non-military component of the Coast Guard. Today, the 30,000 volunteer men and women of the Auxiliary are active on the waterways and classrooms in over 2,000 cities and towns across the nation. Each year, Auxiliarists save almost 500 lives, assist some 15,000 boaters in distress, conduct more than 150,000 courtesy safety examinations of recreational vessels, and teach over 500,000 students in boating and water safety courses. The results of these efforts saves taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars every year. Flotilla 2401 in Branford has been in active service since 1931. Our volunteers do safety patrols from New Haven harbor to Clinton. We do Vessel Exams every weekend at Bruce & Johnson's marina. Most of our patrol boats are located there. Look for any boat flying an Auxiliary flag and stop and say hi! We'll always be glad to do a vessel exam for you or just pass the time of day. Join us for a meeting and see what it is all about!!! Meeting 2nd Saturday of each month - 9:00AM
