ANNOUNCING AN UPDATE TO THE SDSA RESOURCE LIBRARY

Sailors Helping Sailors is at the core of the SDSA and that includes Sailors Educating Sailors.  While there is no substitute for the learning that comes from experience and time on the water, there is a lot that can be learned from others by exploring the SDSA Webinar Library and other resources found on the SDSA Website and soon to be available on the SDSA app.

The Educational Arm of the Salty Dawgs Sailing Association has compiled a collection of Webinars, Checklists and Articles that can assist you in preparing your boat and crew to sail with confidence; be it coastal cruising or an offshore passage.  The Library is a resource that can help you develop or fine tune your blue water sailing knowledge and skills.

The Library of over 200 recorded webinars covers a wide array of topics and features industry experts and specialists, as well as extremely experienced World and Ocean Class Salty Dawgs members.
