[edit]

I've made a few tweaks here and there: feel free to tweak further/revert, etc. A nicely put together article (of course!) which is a dead cert for GA and has enough to it for a stab at FA, I feel. A few minor comments below, by way of an informal PR:

Lead

History

Mutiny

Race

  • "indavertantly resulted in avoiding racing in a lightning storm": I think this could be phrased a little more elegantly, but my brain is struggling too much at the moment to come up with something useful!

Much appreciated. Once I'm out of work, I'll take a closer look. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:38, 4 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Cheers again, I'll GAN it and see where we go from there. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:08, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Port/Starboard vs Strokeside/Bowside

[edit]

Given that this is about (mostly) British rowing, should strokeside/bowside be used rather than port & starboard?TrulyBlue (talk) 15:47, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I guess I just used what the reliable sources said. Feel free to amend. The Rambling Man (talk) 06:29, 21 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox

[edit]

I wonder if given that Colin Moynihan was a sitting Member of Parliament at the time of this race, the Umpire section in the infoxbox should say "Colin Moynihan MP"? Dunarc (talk) 23:37, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
