I've thought about taking my 100 lb. Golden Retriever, Sprewell, with me when sailing but I was unsure how he would react.
I already know I'd have to get him a PFD. Tell me though, how do your dogs like being on the boat? Do they get nervous or roam around or do they just lie down somewhere? Also how do they react to heeling? Do they head for the high side like a human or head for the low side hoping to get to the water like a dog?!
