Twenty sailors are documented, besides the France and Great Britain participants there was a Mixed country team from the US and Great Britain.

Course area and course configuration

[edit]

For the 3 to 10 ton the 19 kilometres (10 nmi) course in the Meulan course area was used.

Weather conditions

[edit]

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.[2]

Final results[3]

[edit]

Two separate races were sailed. No combined results were made.[1]
