For the Fifth Annual Summer Sailstice West Marine has doubled their prize offering from $500 for each of the past two years to $1,000 for 2005. The $1,000 will be awarded by random drawing in five $200 increments to sailors signed up for this year's Summer Sailstice. One $200 Gift Certificate will be awarded each month from February through June offering those signed up early five chances to win. Of course, due to fewer sailors in 'the pool', early sign ups will have an even better chance of winning!
The random nature of winning is to help you celebrate your 'random act of sailing' on Summer Sailstice anywhere in the world. West Marine has sought out ways to support the millions of you who just sail 'for the fun of it'.
We know at any given time lots of sailors are hoisting their sails to head out on the nearest body of water with friends and family' said Randy Repass, Founder and Chairman of West Marine. 'Like many of our Associates at West Marine, we know a large percentage of sailors don't race but simply have their own way of enjoying the sailing lifestyle. We applaud anyone who gets on the water and Summer Sailstice is a terrific way to support and celebrate the thousands of ways people enjoy the world of sailing.' For the past four years numerous sailors have won prizes from West Marine and many other well known marine suppliers. Summer Sailstice appreciates West Marine's continued support for this, the fifth annual Summer Sailstice holiday just for sailors. Starting early February you can sign up for Summer Sailstice, June 18/19, 2005, and increase your chances to win a $200 gift certificate from West Marine.
