East Coast sailors will want to rush out and see this terrifying film next week, "Saving Daylight." It's time, people. Get ready.

One of the top moments of our Annapolis Sailboat Show was seeing our friend John Arndt, creator of the Summer Sailstice, receive the sailing industry's Distinguished Service Award. If you want to know what kind of man invents his own holiday, read on! And make sure to put June 18, 2016 on your calendar, as that's the day the whole world goes sailing! 

Crew mate getting annoying? Here's one quick way to get rid of him. Only takes eight seconds of your time.

Thanks to Mother Nature and the Annapolis Sailboat Show crew, we just had five of the most stellar, sunshine-filled boat show days any of us can remember. Thousands of sailors from around the world flocked to the Sailing Capital to get a peek at the exciting new boats, gear, accessories, and other fun stuff of interest to sailors--even the Auld Mug itself!

Ten teams will be racing on Chesapeake Bay this weekend in Navy 44 sloops for the 2015 U.S. Offshore Sailing Championship, hosted by the Naval Academy Sailing Squadron in Annapolis. This deep and talented fleet is seasoned and ready for a unique offshore racing challenge. This three day US Sailing National Championship gets underway Friday, September 25 and concludes Sunday, September 27.

Inquiring minds want to know. Where are SpinSheet readers sailing this weekend on the Chesapeake Bay?

It's a flat and hot day on the Chesapeake for Trash Free Maryland's Trash Trawl. One Annapolis sailor, a SpinSheet Centurion, sent us these shots from his 40-foot sloop. This particular group will trawl for plastics all day today and tomorrow, as part of the 15-day event.

Can you believe it? As of the September issue out later this week, we'll have SpinSheet covers spanning 20 years!
