Calling all J/Boat sailors!

Summer Sailstice 2015Come sailing with us!
(Newport, RI)- We are inviting all J/Boat sailors worldwide to come sailing 'with us' as part of the Summer Sailstice global celebration of sailing.  We want to show off the best of J/Boat sailing and you can help us do it by entering your sailing plans for this once-a-year event held annually on the weekend nearest the summer solstice.  This year the June 20th weekend.

Everyone signed up and sailing is eligible to win a $100 gift certificate to the J/Boat store plus a one-week BVI charter from Sunsail and numerous other prizes.  You can participate if you're racing Block Island Race Week, the Marion Bermuda Race, Cleveland Race week or cruising the Med or just out for an afternoon sail.  Sign up, hoist your sails and celebrate J/Boat sailing.

Sign up at http://www.summersailstice.com.  This allows you to post your sailing plans, publicize a fleet event, invite others or see what other sailors are doing in the area.  Participants can host a cruising rendezvous, hold a race or sail however you like for the Sailstice holiday. There’s no better way to start the summer and the ideal way to connect with all J/Boat sailors around the world.  Ideally, we'd love to have all 14,000 J/Boats in all four corners of the globe all sailing 'together' in this worldwide celebration of sailing!

All events can be posted on this map.  Individuals can enter their sailing plans to show up here.

We're looking forward to sailing and celebrating 'with you' on Summer Sailstice 2015!  Where will you be sailing your J/Boat for Summer Sailstice?   Fair Winds,  The Newport J/Team
