To promote the appreciation of sailing and foster a community and culture committed to advancing both sailing and sailing education in the Juneau area.
2019 was the hottest summer on record, and SouthEast Alaska Sailing got out in that weather for some great cruising, racing, and just plain sailing.
The season started off with Buoy Racing for the Maritime Festival, quickly followed by the beginning of the summer long SEAS Cup series.
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:
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.
Leg 1 (Saturday) - Starting at 10:00 a.m. between the Committee boat and the Marmion Island Day Mark, proceed north into Stephens Passage, down the back side of Douglas Island, finishing within ½-mile of the small island just past Point Young in Admiralty Cove, on an imaginary line bearing 280 magnetic to Scull Island. Plan to anchor in Admiralty Cove overnight, with beach bonfire (weather permitting).
As part of the Juneau Maritime Festival (http://www.jedc.org/maritimefestival/home), SEAS will have a buoy race in the harbor turning basin.
