We were happy to hear we were recently nominated by US Sailing for the Old Pulteney Maritime Heroes Award which 'recognizes the men and women who are making significant contributions to educate, volunteer, advocate or simply encourage participation in sailing within their community or beyond.' If we win the award Old Pulteney will donate $5,000 to a local non-profit, SailSFBay.org, which promotes the growth of sailing in the San Francisco Bay area. SailSFBay.org is an association of Bay Area sailing programs - community sailing, junior programs, commercial schools and a wide variety of organizations bringing access to sailing.
Please take a minute to vote for John Arndt here: http://www.oldpulteney.com/maritime-heroes to help bring more sailing to more people in the Bay Area.
While at Summer Sailstice we work all year to get the whole world sailing on the weekend closest to the summer solstice we also organize SailSFBay.org to support the many great Bay Area sailing organizations. There are millions of people living so close to the Bay and dozens of great programs available to help people discover the beauty of sailing the Bay - SailSFBay works to help connect the two
Thanks for your support and we hope you can enjoy some Old Pulteney single malt so they can keep supporting sailing!
