SOUTHEASTERN ALASKA UNIT 427
63 Members

Southeastern Alaska Bridge Unit 427 encompasses just what the name implies: all of Southeast Alaska. At the present time we have bridge clubs in Haines (most Northerly club) and Juneau (capital city of Alaska). We also have ACBL members in Ketchikan but no organized club at the present time.

The Unit sponsors two tournaments a year.

Spring Sectional usually held in April: North to Haines Sectional, Haines. A spring sectional is held each year in Southeast Alaska. Most commonly this has been held in Juneau in late April and called the "Fireweed Sectional," but some years in Haines or Ketchikan.

Our Fall Sectional is traditionally held aboard one of the State of Alaska ferries. As an example, in 2001 we started in Juneau, sailed to Skagway, from Skagway to Prince Rupert, British Columbia, and from Prince Rupert to Juneau via Sitka, thus travelling all of the Inside Passage of Southeast Alaska. More info will be posted when available
