The Rum Challenge, the fall race series at the Breakwater Yacht Club in Sag Harbor, begins on Wednesday at 6 p.m., and will run every Wednesday evening until Oct. 16.

The entrance fee is $55 for members of U.S. Sailing and $60 for others. There are four different divisions, and bottles of rum will be awarded to the first, second, and third-place finishers.

Those who are not members of the yacht club can pay $20 per race to take part, although they will not be scored for the series. Registration and more information are available on the Breakwater website.
