Meet the Salty Dawg Sponsors
Learn about the discounts and promotions offered ONLY to SDSA Members
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.
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.
Our sponsors offer financial and in-kind support to the operation of our events, promotional programs for rally participants, and discounted products and/or services to our SDSA members.
In most cases, Members can take advantage of sponsor benefits simply by showing their SDSA membership card. However, a few sponsors ask for additional information. For complete access instructions, please visit the Members Only Section of our web site. Click here.
