Arndt founded Summer Sailstice in February 2001, as the global, annual
celebration of sailing held on the summer solstice. The annual Summer
Sailstice sailing event is free to all participants and has grown from
200 boats signed up in 2001 to almost 5,000 boats today. Since many
sailors join in the fun on many different boats, the actual number of
Summer Sailstice sailors participating is estimated at almost 19,000
annually.In joining with Sailors for the Sea, Summer Sailstice strives to inform and mobilize sailors, their families and communities to enjoy and conserve the beauty of the oceans and while raising awareness of human impacts on the fragile marine environment and wildlife.
Why Celebrate Sailing?
Sailing has expanded the horizons of the human race, connected continents and cultures, enriched the lives of mankind and, to this day, continues to bring millions under its spell. Summer Sailstice is dedicated to celebrating the full mosaic of the sailing culture. By celebrating sailing Summer Sailstice will help the non-sailing world discover sailing, help connect sailors and connect more people to caring for the oceans and waters upon which they sail.
