Lights Out New England Angling Club

The Lights Out name has multiple meanings: The club’s 62’ Viking “Lights Out” is an original SFC team from the open era based in Pocasset, Massachusetts and skippered by Captain Rob Carmichael. The moniker also pays homage to Paul Revere’s 1775 midnight ride. Two lanterns were hung in the steeple of Boston’s Old North Church, alerting Revere of British troops heading by sea to Lexington and Concord. As the lights went out, Revere set off to alert Colonial forces of the approaching Red Coats. 2025, Light's Out Angling Club's Inaugural Season, marks the 250th Anniversary of Revere’s Midnight Ride. The logo is inspired by Boston Light on Little Brewster Island. Prior to its completion in 1716, navigating the many islands and narrows of New England North of Cape Cod was a daunting task. Destroyed by the British during the Revolutionary War, the current Boston Lighthouse has stood since 1783, being raised to its current height in 1856. The Angling Club’s black and gold colors represent the gold of the shining light of the lighthouse and black for the darkness of night when the lights go out.
