Change is a constant in high school athletics, as players graduate at the end of each year and are replaced the next by a new crop of underclassmen. But as the fall sports season begins this week at the Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School, there is so much change you might need a guide to sort it all out.

The 32nd George Moffett Memorial Race is tomorrow, a waterfront event that attracts more than 100 sailors for a full afternoon of fun and sailing.

At press time 52 sailboats were entered in the annual race. “Not the highest number of sailboats we’ve had in the race, but it is a respectable number,” said John Amabile, commodore of the Holmes Hole Sailing Association, which hosts the annual event.

Barry Clifford plans to be back in Vineyard waters. The celebrated underwater explorer, who has spent decades uncovering shipwrecks almost forgotten and who got started here on the Vineyard, has his eyes on a wreck four miles east of Cape Pogue.

His firm Vast Explorer Inc. filed papers in U.S. District Court in Boston seeking exclusive rights to salvage the Semiramis, a 120-foot, three-masted ship, one of the first of the China traders. Mr. Clifford said he wants to start diving on the wreck later this fall.
