Lede
 * Per Manual of Style/Lead section, the lede properly summarizes content from all sections of the article.
 * I suggest adding to the lead that the victory by Cambridge was the fastest winning time since the 1911 race and the second fastest time in the history of the event.
 * The lede is otherwise written well, its contents are internally-cited and verifiable, and I have no further comments, questions, or suggestions.

Background
 * The caricature of Harcourt Gilbey Gold has been released into the public domain and is therefore available for use here.
 * This section is written well, its contents are internally-cited and verifiable, and I have no further comments, questions, or suggestions.

Crews
 * Following this article's passage, I suggest keeping an eye open for an image of one of the crew members to be placed to the right of the table.
 * The table is beautifully formatted and all its contents are sourced by inline citations.
 * This section is written well, its contents are internally-cited and verifiable, and I have no further comments, questions, or suggestions.

 * Thanks Caponer, for the review and for all you support so far. I believe I've addressed the one issue you noted above, and will take heed of the suggestion regarding images.  Ideally I can source images of all these people at some point, but that's not as easy as it sounds...!  The Rambling Man (talk) 21:21, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
