Note 1: Centaur was across the start line early and was awarded a time penalty
Note 2: The classes were changed due to there being only 1 entrant for the normal Class A bowsprit class. All barges therefore were to sail as staysail rigged, so Class A was for the fast staysail barges with iron/steel hulls and Class B for those with wooden hulls. Class C was for the slow staysail class (regardless of hull construction). Championship points were awarded according to these changed classes.
Note 3: several barges had their engines on at the start. As it was considered no barge gained any advantage from this, no penalties were made, and th barges were allowed to continue to take part in the race..
