All boats intended to compete in other races of the Meulan program were supposed to compete in the Concours d'Honneur (Open class).

[1][2][3] For the Open class the Meulan course area was used.

The race was troublesome due to an almost complete absence of any wind and the existing wind was perpendicular to the course (river Seine) and blocked or diverted by trees and buildings.

Legend: DNF – Did not finish; DSQ – Disqualified; Gender: – male; – female; 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.

Yachting World states the races were open to yachts up to 30 tons; however, no 30 ton boats were entered.
