Starting in 2010, SEAS is sponsoring a series of races around Admiralty Island, called the Admiralty Island Rally, or AIR. AIR will alternate years with the Spirit of Admiralty, so AIR will be held in even numbered years while Spirit of Admiralty will be held in odd numbered years.
AIR is a unique race held in some of the most incredible country in the world. It consists of 6 legs, and a couple of days spent in Warm Springs Bay. The legs are:
- Auke Bay to Whitestone Harbor
- Whitestone Harbor to Warm Springs Bay
- Warm Springs Bay dock to Hottubs (not a race leg, but it should be run many times over the course of the layover)
- Warm Springs Bay to Pybus Bay
- Pybus Bay to Holkham Bay
- Holkham Bay to Taku Harbor
- Taku Harbor to Sheep Creek
Scoring will include the 4 best legs for each boat, and the low point scoring system will be used.
All boats must be 20 feet in length, and meet PIYA Category III requirements. The fee for the set of races will be $75.
