* Under L2H race rules, the Overall Winner is the yacht with the lowest corrected time under IRC handicaps. Previously, the Overall Winner has been eligible for only one trophy and, as a result, the next three boats moved up one place in the IRC and PHS handicap categories. The rules have were changed for the 2012 L2H to enable the Overall Winner to also receive the trophies for any Divisional first places on corrected time.

* 2009 race started from Inspection Head on the Tamar River at Beauty Point instead of at Low Head at the mouth of the river, increasing the length of the race to 285 nautical miles.

* 2022 race started from Lagoon Beach at Low Head due to tide and light weather conditions. There was no result awarded for the race from Beauty Point to Low Head for this year.
