USE WINDPOWER - GO SAILING
There are thousands of opportunities to sail regardless of whether you have a boat or not. If your boat is rigged and ready, then take advantage of the wind and sail. If not, there are numerous points of access from commercial sailing schools to community sailing programs to Sea Scouts and junior programs. There's no reason for anyone to be left ashore on Summer Sailstice. If you don't have a boat, go to our Crew Connection page and find a sailing program near you.
SUPPORT OCEAN PRESERVATION WITH 'SAILORS FOR THE SEA'
Summer Sailstice mission is dedicated to celebrating sailing while we also work together to support healthy oceans. For 2009 we've teamed up with Sailors for the Sea and their 'Around the Americas' voyage which seeks to highlight global warming and further ocean sciences with a circumnavigation of the American continents. We're asking sailors to support this voyage and Sailors for the Sea by pledging a few dollars per mile sailed on Summer Sailstice. It's a way to double the pleasure and reward of every mile sailed. Check the Pledge box when you Sign Up for Summer Sailstice.
