Notes

edit
  • This was the first Olympic event ever, and the only Olympic sailing event, that was held outside the organizing country.
  • During the second race, one of the marks was drifting, meaning the race was cancelled. Since the organizers did not have time to re-sail the race that week, the two remaining races were rescheduled for September 3. Because both contenders were Dutch, the organizers requested the Olympic Committee to organize the race in Amsterdam Buiten Y, which was accepted.
  • Cornelis Hin helmed in race No. I and the cancelled race No. II, Frans Hin helmed the two races in Amsterdam.
