This event type is chosen for races.
30 years ago, a group of Juneau sailors circumnavigated Admiralty Island in a sailboat race to commemorate the 25th year of statehood. The longest inland water race on the west coast is the crown jewel of sailboat racing in Juneau.
This Saturday, the 20th, at 11:00 at the Juneau Youth Sailing container.
