Meet the Salty Dawg Sponsors

Vital to the Salty Dawg Sailing Association mission is our dedication to bringing events to the offshore sailing community that are offered at the lowest possible entry fee with the greatest possible value to participants. To achieve this goal consistently, we rely heavily on the contributions of our sponsors. Some of the most respected companies in the marine industry offer financial and in-kind support to the operation of our events and, in many cases, promotional programs for rally participants and SDSA members.

The generosity of our sponsors is critical to our mission as a non-profit educational organization  … to help sailors realize their long distance cruising dreams.  Enjoy the Products & Services they can bring to you!
