World's
Championship Results - 1923-1944
The
following results are from George Elder's book "Forty Years Among
The Stars". In common with the early Logs it is interesting to note
that in his results Elder does not give the yacht numbers of the boats
which participated in the World's, but only just their names. It was not
until the 1950 Log that yacht numbers were included in the results. From
1950 through 1976 both yacht numbers and names were given, but starting
with 1977 frequently only yacht numbers were given. The last time both
yacht numbers and yacht names were given was 1989.
In later years sometimes
fleet designations were omitted. In these cases some of the more obvious
fleet designations were supplied. Also from time to time only last names
were supplied. First names, where known, were added.
Abbreviations etc:
Dsa - Disabled. Dsq - Disqualified. Dns - Did Not Start.
Wdr - Withdrew. Ch - Chairman. B - Builder. * - Defending Fleet. 0 - No
points, reason not given.
