Sailing takes you places.  When you sign up for Summer Sailstice happening this weekend you're connecting with sailors heading around the world, around the Bay or around their local lake.  Today's solstice is the official start to summer and the start of the global Summer Sailstice sailing celebration.

There are thousands of boats waiting patiently at their docks for you to take them sailing. Whether you own a boat or head to your community sailing center or club THIS is the weekend to commit to sign up and take a boat sailing.  They were built to sail and they're just waiting for you.  Find a club or crew position here.
