The race wins, indicated in parentheses, are for major races.
A "major race" is defined as one scheduled for a minimum of two heats with at least four Unlimiteds making a legal start. This excludes from consideration the numerous one-heat free-for-alls of the 1940s and '50s and those multi-class events with less than the required four Unlimited entries making a legal start.
Between 1946 and 1957, boats from the Limited classes were sometimes allowed to "step up" to the Unlimited level for the purpose of filling out the field.
Except in unusual instances, secondary races run in conjunction with the main event at a particular regatta are not included. The only exceptions to the four-boat starting field requirement are the Harmsworth International races of 1956, 1959, and 1961, which featured an unorthodox method of selecting eligible entries.
