Notes
The 1938 Championship was not sailed in 10sq.m. Canoes
From 1975 until the 2007/8 Championship the class was using the
'Nethercott' design as a one-design hull shape, although older
designs were permitted to (and sometimes did) compete with
'grandfather' status.
There were no Worlds between 2020 and 2022 as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
