Testimonials

The Salty Dawg Sailing Association has grown by leaps and bounds since its inception in 2011. That’s thanks to you. Each year, more and more cruisers join our “family” of folks passionate about blue water sailing. Most join us because they have heard from those of you who have participated in rallies or other Salty Dawg events in the past. Word-of-mouth works. Tell us what it’s like to be a Salty Dawg…..and we’ll share your experience with others who might be thinking about joining us in the future. Thank you.

“I am very excited to have been part of the Salty Dawg Rally to the Caribbean and to have earned Ocean Class qualification. I was so impressed with how organized the Rally was from events before and after,as well as all the communication during.” SANDY CURTIS, S/V DIVA

“I love running into Salty Dawgs when you least expect it! We met Kathy and Ralph on S/V Simplicity 3 1/2 years ago on our first rally to the Caribbean, now we are in the Exumas meeting up again! We’ve made so many friends joining the Salty Dawgs, and it’s so nice to see familiar faces everywhere we sail!” TAMMY SISSON S/V YOLO

We arrived well today in Green Turtle Cay. Manjack cut was ok, 5’ SE swell. Chris (Chris Parker, Marine Weather Center) – Thank you very much for all your help; the Gulf Stream window suggested by you was perfect. We couldn’t have done this challenging trip without your help. And a big thank you to the SaltyDawg organization for your personal advice!

Just wanted to say we arrived safely in the Caribbean last Friday. It was a very adventurous passage with all kinds of sailing; Beatiful 15 knots on the beam with sunshine to 40 knots and big waves at 3 in the morning triple reefed! The Salty Dawg organization was a huge part of our success! The passage to Maine was an excellent primer for the passage to the Caribbean. The comaraderie experienced along with advice from seasoned offshore sailors prepared us well. We had a great time and a safe passage! Moses (the dog on board) did great too. We learned to heave to and take a break, letting Moses walk the decks and do his duty. Tack over when he’s finished and were off again!
