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.

Testimonials

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Sara Jane G.

    I've taken two classes at MSS&C and was very happy with the program. This is also a great club with lots of opportunities for camaraderie and practice on the water. The boats in the fleet are fantastic and kept in tip-top shape. I highly recommend for all sailors and would-be sailors!
