With an emphasis on safety, communication and camaraderie, over 390 boats and more than 1560 sailors have participated in the free Salty Dawg rallies since the organization 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 no 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.
