Below is a list of best times for the event since 1964. No times are available for 1963.

What I have done here is list all the first placed boats in all classes.  Over the years the class names have changed.  I have attempted to group like classes together to give a reasonable listing for boat types. 

Take a 2 person racing kayak.  Over the years the class for this has been named K2, Open K2, Senior K2 and Senior Racing Kayak Doubles.  I accept that K2 and Open K2 may include junior and ladies/women. Working on the assumption (don't shoot me!!!) that in the K2 and Open K2 classes there were probably few, if any, juniors or ladies/women, the table should give representative times for men. I suspect the same applies to other classes that I have gouped together.

Note also that the course changed in different years.  For example the finish in 1988 was at the Custom House in the City centre.  Can someone tell me where the start was?  I did paddle that year and also compiled the results - what a nightmare that was!  Then I got sense and now only do the results.  I know there were other years in which the course was altered.  Can anyone give me details?

I will change the presentation format of this table to allow you to select a class type. However I thought the information might be of interest in its present state an alsh hoped that someone looking up the results for the recent race might be able to provide some info.
