[edit]

The name of this sailboat designer seems to be rendered in several different ways throughout Wikipedia. Articles by those who were closest to him, including one by his long-term business partner, Dick Gibbs, consistently style his name as Rod Macalpine-Downie. Please refer to these links:[1][2]

The forename he's known by is Rod, not Roderick. His surnames are hyphenated; the first surname being Macalpine, with no second capitalisation. The second surname is Downie, not Downey or any variant of that.
