Modern Sailors Celebrate Summer Sailstice

June 19 was Summer Sailstice, an annual international celebration of sailing and the summer solstice. At Modern Sailing, we celebrate sailing every day! On Saturday, June 19, every boat in the fleet was booked and we estimate that over a hundred members, students, and guests got out on the water. 

With Summer Sailstice and the lifting of state COVID-19 restrictions, we also brought back our Après Sails social mixers. Expect to see an Après Sail in our outdoor canvas lounge every Saturday and Sunday 3:30 - 5:00 PM. We serve complimentary wine, beer, beverages, and snacks while you relax and enjoy swapping sailing stories with your friends at Modern Sailing.

Did you go sailing on Summer Sailstice? Members - hop on over to the Modern Sailing Crew List on Facebook, join the group if you haven't already, and be sure to share your photos with the MSC community. You may also email photos to office@modernsailing.com.

    I try to get out on the water every week: out the Gate, around Angel, up Raccoon - I love it all. After 18 years as a member of OCSC in Berkeley, I learned to sail the bigger boats at Modern by taking ASA 103 and 104. My ASA 104 instructor Dave Russell was terrific. Also, Captain Bill Moreland has been very generous in giving informal advice whenever I’ve asked him. Thanks to Bill, I no longer have any anxiety about docking!

    The class was terrific. I know you must get many compliments about your sailing instructors...But I must tell you that Robert is outstanding. Having taught SCUBA, I really appreciate the way he is so sensitive to all on board, dealing with each so well, knowing quickly their strengths and weaknesses making each feel special and cared for.

    The office staff was very accommodating in meeting my availability.

  • Andrew Goble, San Francisco

    It has been wonderful sailing with MSC over the years. Please extend my thanks to the owners, management, and staff for unrequited professionalism and high standards in a charter fleet. I have sailed with several in my years and none nearly hold a candle to the quality of business and staff at Modern Sailing.

  • John Kipping

    The meeting room was quite adequate and the location most convenient, but the course outline and instruction were outstanding. Modern Sailing is fortunate to have such a well organized instructor in Mr. Stan Lander who teaches very well from a rich professional background. Mr. Lander was generous with his time and patiently in helping students who needed more attention or time in understanding various aspects of the curriculum.
