Summer Sailstice 2021 Contest Winners

August 5, 2021 by Nicki Bennett
Sailstice

Each and every year we get out to raise our sails with the global community on Summer Sailstice is a unique and amazing experience. Connected by our passion to experience life under sail, in a variety of ways, bodies of water in different places across the globe. We are united by one common denominator, our love of sailing. Thank you again, to each and every sailor who helped us celebrate our 21st birthday in Sailstice style, with the wind in the sails, and sun on our faces. 

One of our favorite aspects of Sailstice (besides the sailing of course!) is the contests. Our community gets so creative and pulls out all the stops.
