Talk:World championships in sailing

I love it how you feel a consensus isn't needed to create a page that uses other people content in place where they never wanted it. You also feel a consensus is needed to make it factually correct which is all my update did. This whole subject is covered by International_Sailing_Federation so this article has no relevance in my opinion. You are aware of this page which if you felt this was the way to go could have been developed List_of_World_Championships_medalists_in_sailing. It is misleading to suggest that ISAF organise class world championship or that there are only 15 World Championships when there are well over 150 title it is also strange to include the Tornado and Laser 4.7 neither of which are Olympic if you don;t want the other Class World Championships. Please look at my update all it does it includes some of the additional Worlds and it needs further editing. Yachty4000 (talk) 08:54, 30 April 2012
 * The nine championships highlighted in yellow are not those of the 8 Olympic classes, but those that assign titles at the world championships which are held every 4 years since 2003. Let's not fight, please fill in the section "others championships" with the table that you put first. Just be careful not to leave blank columns, or cells absent, as you did before. --Kasper2006 (talk) 09:13, 30 April 2012 (UTC)


 * But there not held ever four years almost ever class at the Worlds holds other World Championship away from that event in that year. The Tornado wasn't in the last sailing world championships and probably never will be the Elliott we have already discussed. Sorry about my tone that update took a long time and I can't see why you undid it or what consensus you think was needed. Maybe you could explain what was wrong with the update from a content point of view. --Yachty4000 (talk) 09:23, 30 April 2012
 * You're right: I have now settled. Your job is not absolutely lost, we can recover. We do one thing, I will recover me and then you walk to update it. --Kasper2006 (talk) 09:33, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
 * It is still in the revision history so I no the work isn't lost I would be keen to hear what you didn;t like about that updated table content and format. Yachty4000 (talk) 10:53, 30 April 2012
 * ✅ If you want, you can fill the table, for example add new column with the link to details (all these WC hasn't an article, the main yes). If is possible reduced the lines (you can merge 420 and similar for instance). --Kasper2006 (talk) 10:07, 30 April 2012 (UTC)


 * I don't like the term main championships as this undermines other World Championships. I would prefer you seperate this into three Section I don't dare do it :-) One for Olympic Disciplines at the top one for ISAF Iniated Worlds and one for the Class Worlds a bit like the ISAF page. Certainly the Tornado and 4.7 should be out main championship box. I will try and find some time to complete the table a bit more. Yachty4000 (talk) 10:39, 30 April 2012

Multiple classes medalists
I think great addition would be list with sailors (m/w) who medaled in most classes (at least 3). 213.149.51.200 (talk) 20:52, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
 * The trouble is the data doesn't exist for people that have medaled it doesn't even exist for World Champions there is no definative list. A females list, a displine list and a multi class list would be interesting but I think it is more important to get the medalist onto the class page. I don't like seperate pages as they are less likely to be updated. (talk) 19:38, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
 * There probably is a critical number (it is most likely to be 5 or 6 cause it's big enough to be extraordinary to be well covered and small enough to be achievable). It wouldn't be a separate page it would perfectly fit this one. This list wouldn't need to be updated often. It would just be a list of people who have medaled in lets say 5 and more classes. We just need to find that critical number for which we are 100% certain (someone who is deep enough into this matter)  we have information. 3 in my previous post would definitely be too low but that is not even interesting if you have people who medaled in 15, 10, 8 classes. That way list would have merit just don't call it multi class medalists, call it 5+ class medalists. 213.149.62.160 (talk) 15:46, 30 September 2017 (UTC)

Multiple World Champions
It says that list is not complete even for 8+ champions. I don't know what is wikipedia's policy but due to the fact that it is very old sport and crazy number of classes, it is hard to look for information individually and it is easy to overlook. So I was wondering why not ask for help via official mail from big (succesful) sailing federations (no point in asking Congo, even if they have one)? You could ask them for the list of the world champions from their country with at least 5 titles -don't see the point in anything lower considering how many have more, while at the same time cooperation would be more possible cause you wouldn't ask them for too much. From there you could compile a list. 213.149.62.160 (talk) 18:00, 30 September 2017 (UTC)
 * France and Italy have a incomplete database and AUS and USA publish a list on there website. The biggest is World Sailing which has a database of 4000 worlds events. http://www.sailing.org/regattasearch.php Although I note that not even this is being presently updated with winners outside the Olympics. There isn't even a definative list for this year because some classes never record the crew data that means there are definately ommissions.Special:Contributions/Yachty4000 (talk) 21:07, 30 September 2017 (UTC)

ORC
There was IMS 600 WCh in 2004 and IMS 50 foot in 2000. https://www.yachtsandyachting.com/news/1663/IMS-50-foot-World-Championships-Overall

In 2018 there was united ORCi-IRC WCh in the Hague. 213.149.61.151 (talk) 20:36, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

Multiple World champions
If I am not mistaken this list does not contain any women. That would mean that no woman has ever won at least 8 WChs. But it would be good to do the same thing for women. 213.149.51.153 (talk) 19:05, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

Does it count ?
