Where Did You Sail on Summer Sailstice?

June 24, 2026 by Heidi Benson Stagg

More than 100 plans were pinned to our World Map and thousands of others joined raft ups, cruise outs, regattas and community events to celebrate the longest day of the year on the water.

Sails were raised on day sailers, maxi's, plastic classics and tall ships and the weekend commemorated major milestones. The Newport Bermuda Race marked the 100th anniversary of the partnership between the Cruising Club of America and the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club, Community Boating Boston celebrated its 80th Anniversary, and Norfolk, Virginia hosted a fleet of the world's most magnificent international and military ships for the United States 250th founding anniversary.

We want to know where YOU sailed! Did you invite friends and family for a sail or participate in a beer-can race? Were you swapping stories on a raft up or back at the club after a day on the water? We'd love to hear all about your experience ... it's free, easy and you could even win one of our great nautical prizes. 

Send us your pictures and stories (up to 300 words) so we can share with the community and inspire other sailors to hoist the sails!
