Find out more about Summer Sailstice:
'When I started sailing as a youth it was all about voyages of
discovery and exploring. The Summer Sailstice concept of letting all
sailors participate with their own sailing adventure is a terrific way
to involve all sailors in a common celebration. From mega yacht to
sailing dinghy, we all love to get on the water under sail. We should
all join in a holiday celebrating the spirit of sailing.'
