A place to discuss all things sailing in Southeast Alaska
Hi all,
I am a sailor who's in Juneau for the summer, and would love to get out on the water. I sailed full time on traditionally-rigged vessels for nearly 10 years, but haven't raced at all. I'd be excited to hop on a boat for the upcoming Funter Bay race. I have work on Monday and would need to return by Sunday evening.
Thanks!
Sandy
The first decent rope ladder I've seen that won't beat the crap out of your boat. Make it yourself so you can plan the length so that it can't possibly get into the prop or wrap the rudder, then leave it available close to the stern for quick deployment, or let it continuously trail if singlehanding.
Thought I'd share some very useful links from the Coast Guard you'll find handy:
SEAS members,
Below is the email I received today from Chad Mountcastle with the Juneau Coast Guard confirming our tour of Sector Juneau. It contains vital info for this to pull off smoothly. Basically we'll meet at the rear entrance to the Federal Building, which is over the foot bridge (park in the rear of the Federal Building) NO later than 18:45 on April 5th. Everyone needs to be in a group at the entrance to make this work. You'll have to go thru security so read his instructions below. It's kind of like going thru TSA at the airport.
Guys and Gals,
