Alaska's first fast ferry, Fairweather, was launched Sunday in Bridgeport, Conn. The 235-foot vessel will travel at speeds of up to 32 knots, or 40 mph. It will have seating for about 250 passengers and will carry 35 vehicles. The Fairweather will be home-ported in Juneau and serve Sitka, Haines and Skagway.
