Sailing at the 1900 Summer Olympics – 1 to 2 ton

Legend: DNC – Did not come to the starting area; Gender: – male; – female; This race saw with Aschenbrödel (German for Cinderella) one more boat competing.

In this class the German crew sailed the lightest boat, yet easily finished in the quickest time.

Their low handicap served only to widen the gap between them and the second-place Swiss team.

However her Swiss team did not win the first medals for Switzerland, that honor goes to Louis Zutter during the 1896 Olympics.

However the race on the 25 May 1900, initially part of the Exposition Universelle program, was afterwards awarded with an Olympic status.
