Summer Sailstice June 24, 2023 🔉

On Saturday, June 24, 2023, American Sailing is again a Gold Level Sponsor of the 23rd annual Summer Sailstice, the biggest sail event of the year where everybody everywhere sails at the same time! Founded back in Feb 2001 by John Arndt, Publisher of Latitude 38, Summer Sailstice is the annual global celebration of sailing held on the weekend nearest to the summer solstice and the longest days of the year in the northern hemisphere. The event has grown from 200 boats in 2001 to over 5000 boats around the world that unite thousands of sailors with a schedule of events that encourages everyone to participate. 

American Sailing is uniting all of its over 400 Affiliate academies, clubs, schools, and charter companies to collaborate and participate in this event.
