A reminder to all racers that per the Sailing Instructions, weeknight racing starts 15 minutes earlier in September. I.e. first warning signal is at 1800 on all nights, except for the Thursday evening OD course, where the first warning is scheduled for 1755.
Now would also be a good time to check your navigation lights, as racing may extend after sunset, and boats may not get ashore before dark.
