Footnotes to Schedule:

 

Most races are scheduled on Saturday only, but if the Saturday race is cancelled for any reason, such as thunder, lightning, absence of wind, too much wind, etc., the race will be held on Sunday.  Each sailor must decide for him or her self if it is safe to race. 

 

The Committee Boat person responsible for the cancelled Saturday race must do the race on the alternate date (Sunday).
