The Salty Dawg Rally will host a rendezvous for southern Chesapeake sailors on Saturday, July 9 at Indian Creek Yacht & Country Club (ICYCC) in Kilmarnock, Virginia. Sailors are welcome to come by boat or car. Over 500 boats and more than 1,960 sailors have participated in Salty Dawg rallies since the nonprofit organization was founded in 2011.
If you have ever dreamed of sailing your own boat over the horizon to tropical islands, the Med, or the south Pacific, the Salty Dawg organization can help. The Southern Chesapeake Rendezvous, hosted by long term sailors Hank & Seale George, will have world class sailors and cruisers discussing how to live that dream. The event is targeted at both those who have done it and those who dream of doing it. Several blue water sailing vessels will be available for touring at the ICYCC docks.
A panel discussion moderated by George Day, publisher of Blue Water Sailing Magazine and Multihulls Quarterly will include circumnavigators Ward & Judy Lehardy, writer and cruiser Wendy Mittman Clarke and husband Johnny Clarke, local sailor and cruiser Terry Greene and other experienced sailors who have done it. A cocktail hour with opportunities for rubbing shoulders with other sailors, light fare for dinner and entertainment will conclude the day’s activities.
For more information and to sign up for the Salty Dawg Rally Southern Chesapeake Rendezvous, email [email protected] or call (804) 435-0169. Cost is $22 per person, which includes the dinner. A cash bar will be available.
