 SETTING "SAILSTICE"
An evening on the water with Summer Sailstice founder John Arndt and family brings editor at large Herb McCormick to the source of this ubiquitous festival.
May 25, 2007
By Herb McCormick
John Arndt loves to sail. I mean, he really loves to sail. It's his vocation–he's the advertising manager of the popular West Coast sailing magazine Latitude 38–and his avocation–he's also the skipper of the Ranger 33 Summer Sailstice, which he berths at the Corinthian Yacht Club in Tiburon, California. Last summer I had the distinct pleasure of sailing a Friday night beer-can race with John and his family: wife Leslie and daughters Sarah and Hannah, who share dad's love of twilight evenings on the sparkling waters of sensational San Francisco Bay. If my memory serves correct, we did pretty well, but what I most remember about the race was John's wide grin and sheer joy as he put his boat through her paces. It was a delight and a privilege to sail with the Arndts and enjoy a cool beverage or two afterward, just a wonderful, infectious experience all the way around. Cont at:http://www.cruisingworld.com

You could still spend Summer Sailstice in Antigua
|
 One lucky Summer Sailstice has already won a trip to Antigua this year! Cecilie Ann Witt, owner of a Catalina 25 in Virginia, signed up early for Summer Sailstice and was drawn to win a free trip at Sunsail’s Club Calonna for American Sailing Week with ASA. ASA celebrates sailing annually by booking rooms in Antigua at Sunsail’s sailing resort and playing for a full week on the waterfront sailboats beached right outside the rooms. To learn more about ASA’s American Sailing week at Club Calonna and, if you’re spontaneous, book this year, check it out: ASA’s American Sailing week at Club Calonna

Join the Ocean Conservancy in a Virtual Circumnavigation
|
While we celebrate we can also give back. In order to have sailors contribute to the care and preservation of their sailing playground, the oceans, Summer Sailstice has teamed up with the Ocean Conservancy to create a virtual circumnavigation dedicated to preserving the world’s oceans. This allows you to make a contribution for each mile sailed on Summer Sailstice with the proceeds to go to the Ocean Conservancy’s ocean preservation programs.
