Low

This article has been rated as Low-importance on the project's importance scale.

See drop-down box for suggested article edit guidelines:

Be bold - if you know something about Cornwall then put it in! We value your contributions and don't be afraid if your spelling isn't great as there are plenty of spelling and grammar experts on clean-up duty!
Articles on settlements in Cornwall should be written using the standard set of headings approved by the UK geography WikiProject's guideline How to write about settlements.
At WikiProject Cornwall we subscribe to the policies laid down by Wikipedia - particularly civility and consensus building. We are aware that the wording on Cornish entries can sometimes be a contentious topic, especially those concerning geography. You don't have to agree with everything but there is no excuse for rudeness and these things are best solved through consensus building and compromise. For more information see WP:CornwallGuideline.
These pages are not platforms for political discussion. Issues relating to Cornish politics should be restricted to those pages that directly deal with these issues (such as Constitutional status of Cornwall, Cornish nationalism, etc) and should not overflow into other articles.
Most of all have fun editing - that's the reason we all do this, right?!

South African sailors[edit]

I have added Kees Bruynzeel, who won in 1937 for the Netherlands, in honour of those South African Wikipedians who hang in there.. Gregorydavid 09:25, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

1980 - ?[edit]

The table implies that the 1979 race was the last for a long time. But the text contradicts this. Was the race run in 1980 and thereafter, and is there an official website of the governing body, or record-keepers? -Ashley Pomeroy 19:34, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

map[edit]

A map of the route would be useful. Bastie (talk) 15:22, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Flag[edit]

Is the union flag correct for the last two British winners? All the others in the lists use red ensigns. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.141.114.168 (talk) 17:00, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion Category talk:Yachting races[edit]

You should know about this and comment. One of our editors has systematically depopulated it, and thinks that is a good reason to delete it. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 12:09, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
