Rendezvous
READ ABOUT OUR 2025 EVENTS FOR MORE FUN
All sailors — past, present, and future — are invited to join our Salty Dawg Rendezvous Events. These events are a great way for Dawgs to learn from seasoned Dawgs and have a great time. As always, our volunteers are terrific. They make the Rendezvous Events fun and informative for everyone who attends. These are the events that we do in a typical year, and dates are provided for most. Check back here and on the calendar to see which of these we will be able to hold this atypical year.
