Leg 1 (Friday)

Starting in Favorite Channel at 9:30 a.m. between the Committee boat and the North light on Portland Island (an imaginary line bearing 195 magnetic to, and within ½ mile of the mark), proceed north, keeping Strauss Rock to starboard, into Saginaw Channel, rounding Pt. Retreat into Lynn Canal, finishing in Funter Bay on an imaginary line bearing 62 magnetic, and within a ½ mile of Clear Point.
 

Starting at 10:00 a.m. between the Committee boat and the Marmion Island Day Mark ( an imaginary line bearing 060 magnetic to, and within ½ mile of the mark), the boats will sail ONE of these courses: 

A. North into Taku Inlet, crossing an imaginary line bearing 60 magnetic to, and within ½ mile of Jaw Point, returning and crossing an imaginary line bearing 060 magnetic to, and within ½ mile of the Marmion Island Day mark. 

As part of the Juneau Maritime Festival (http://www.jedc.org/maritimefestival/home), SEAS will have a buoy race in the harbor turning basin.

The 2017 SEAS racing season is upon us, so it's time for our annual 'Racing Rules and Tactics' discussion.

This discussion will focus on the most fundamental rules, our starts, skipper's meetings, SEAS specific rules, and ratings for the SEAS Cup, the buoy races, and the Spirit of Admiralty.  

Of course, time allowed we can have discussions about specific rule questions and sailing situations.

Hope to see you there.

With the amount of gear and options available on what you should or should not have, fitting out a sailboat can be daunting. There will be an element of "show and tell" on safety gear and the format of the evening will be more of a "conversation" than a "lecture". There are basic safety items we should all be aware of. Sean will discuss the Safety Sheets that each skipper can use to create a customied inventory of their safety gear, where it is located, etc. Wade will discuss items that should be incorporated into the boats ditch bag.
