The open class was an event on the Sailing at the 1900 Summer Olympics program in Paris. All boats competing in the other races competed in the open class, or Concours d'Honneur. It was held on 20 May 1900. 78 sailors, on 43 boats, from 6 nations competed.

[edit] Results

There was very little wind on the day of the race, resulting in 36 of the 43 boats not finishing and 2 more being disqualified after the course due to their use of "other means of propulsion than the sail"^[2]. The 5 that did finish legally averaged more than 6 hours in completing the course.
