Who we are

Picture
The RBMA is a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation established in 1995, dedicated to the preservation and revitalization of Sausalito’s working waterfront and its maritime heritage and tradition.
Recognizing the importance of the Bay's maritime industries and traditions, three local residents, Barry Hibbin, Charlie Merrill and Cameron Dorsey, formed an organization to protect and promote its heritage and history, adopting the name of the Richardson's Bay Maritime Association--RBMA.
