Contested deletion Category talk:Yachting races

You should know about this and comment. One of our editors has systematically depopulated it (from this article among many others), and thinks that is a good reason to delete it. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 13:45, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This article needs a lot of work

This article isn't organized very well, and it is missing a lot of information. A basic chronology would be a good organizational theme for this, and could not help but drastically improve it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ZeroXero (talk • contribs) 02:35, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
