Registration is now open for the Salty Dawg Fall Rally™ to Caribbean

by Salty Dawg Rally on 10 Aug 2016 Registration is now open for the 2016 fall Salty Dawg Rally™ to Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands and other Caribbean destinations. The Rally for experienced blue water sailors will depart, weather permitting, on November 2 from Hampton, Virginia and other points along the US east coast.

With an emphasis on safety, communication, education and camaraderie, over 400 boats and more than 1,600 sailors have participated in Salty Dawg rallies since the organisation was founded by blue water sailors, Bill and Linda Knowles in 2011.

The Fall Rally includes extensive planning and information prior to departure. Daily briefings by weather router and forecaster Chris Parker are provided to all who register, both before departure and offshore. Daily nets 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 generous donated time, products, services and funds from over 40 sponsors.
