Summer Sailstice is coming up.

Join sailors across the country in a global celebration of sailing on the longest day of the year, well amost...June 17-18, 2006.

Summer Sailstice™ is a global holiday celebrating sailing on the best possible day: the longest of the year! Named by Sailing magazine as one of sailing's top 10 events, it's the kind of event all coastal sailors can love. It's nothing stressful: no racing, no scoring, no rules, no showmanship, no fees, no start times, and no excuses. It's simply about gathering with other sailors, in thousands of anchorages worldwide, to celebrate the joy of sailing. Now that's our kind of event. Purely for the joy of it!

You can sign up your group or you can join others for a raft up at a favorite sailing destination. Create a party out on the water to celebrate the beginning of the summer sailing season ahead. And if that isn't enough reason you could win a charter vacation, a boat, a shopping spree, a cruising course, plus lots of other prizes... just for signing up.

Sign up here to commit to having a great day out on the water and enter the giveway to win some great prizes. How can you go wrong? And don't forget to take pictures and notes to send in. We'll post your stories here and get the momentum up for the Northeast next year.

Please email us your photos and stories about your Summer Sailstice
