Registration is now open for the 2017 Fall Salty Dawg Rally™ to Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands and other Caribbean destinations.
This Rally for blue water sailors will depart, weather permitting, on November 2 from Hampton, Virginia and other points along the US east coast. Join us for a fun and well planned passage to paradise. Register online now at Rally Registration.
With an emphasis on safety, communication, education and camaraderie, over 550 boats and more than 2,000 sailors have participated in Salty Dawg rallies since the organization was founded in 2011.
The Fall Rally includes extensive planning and information prior to departure. Comprehensive checklists and reference material are provided for sailors to prepare themselves and their yachts for an offshore passage. Guidance and assistance is obtained from the many highly experienced Salty Dawg sailors in the fleet. Daily briefings by weather router and forecaster Chris Parker are provided to all who register, both before departure and offshore. Daily nets and satellite tracking devices track location of vessels and offer help on any issues or questions that participants have. The Rally is able to provide this extensive range of support and services at minimal cost to participants due to the many seasoned blue water sailors who volunteer their time to staff the rally and the generously donated time, products, services and funds from over 30 sponsors.
