Summer Sailstice - Sail locally, celebrate globally
 
"This is a great idea. We love to get folks out on their boats having fun in a non-competitive manner."

Here are the 2005 Summer Sailstice Winners!!


Jerrold Manock, sailing his Colgate 26 on Lake Champlain in Vermont sailed his way to a one-week charter in the BVI  with The Moorings!

The Grand Prize for 2005, a one-week Moorings charter in the BVI for Summer Sailstice 2005 was once again won by a fresh water lake sailor.  Though this year it was in New England rather than the Midwest we're sure Jerrold Mannock from far North in Burlington, VT will enjoy a BVI charter as much or more than any of us.





Other big winners include Sandy Oberg of Richmond, California who won the Hunter Xcite sailing dinghy, Herb Iwer sailing out of John's Island South Carolina sailed his West
Wight Potter to win the one-week 'Fast Track to Cruising' course from Off shore sailing.

This year five people awarded $200 gift certificates from West Marine - one each month from February to the June drawing.  If you signed up by the end of February this gave you five chances to win the West Marine gift certificate.  Several other prizes were awarded on a monthly basis for early sign-ups throughout the spring including products from Shockles and Sailing World subscriptions and calendars.

A new prize for 2005 was sailing opportunities from Sailtime.  We awarded a free sail with Sailtime to winners living near one of their 30 bases in the US.  This gives all of them one more chance for a sail but this time on a new Hunter sailboat sailing from the Sailtime bases.

This year we awarded over 200 prizes from almost 60 companies who generously came aboard to support your 'random act of sailing'.  Sailors signed up in 48 states - all but North Dakota and West Virginia.  We also had sailors signed up in five Canadian provinces, Mexico and as far away as Australia where one Australian said he was
signing up to 'celebrate the shortest sailing day of the year but the longest night to party!'

The list of winners appears below and we're again thankful to the people in so many companies who simply love to sail themselves and support a holiday celebrating the fun of it all. Summer Sailstice gives sailing businesses a chance to make everyone a winner while giving us all another great reason to get together sail, party, barbecue and just have fun on the solstice. Have a look at the 'Locations' page to see who was sailing and where this year or see how some people celebrated by reading  'Sailstice Tales'.  You can of course email your own Sailstice Tale to: john@summersailstice.com

We're planning ahead for next year and hope you will put Summer Sailstice on your club, class or personal sailing calendar for 2006. Summer Sailstice will be held the weekend of June 17/18 with the actual solstice on Wednesday(hump day), June 21st. We hope you find a few great sailing days between now and Summer Sailstice 2006 and are already looking forward to a terrific 2006 sailing season.
