Notes
Two competitors, “Mamie” and “Carabinier”, were disqualified for using “other means of propulsion than the sail.”[2] This made them the first sailors ever to be disqualified in an Olympic regatta.
Other information
Yachting World states the races were open to yachts up to 30 tons; however, no 30 ton boats were entered.[2]
