Notes

  1. ^ The 1900 Olympic scoring system was used.
  2. ^ Handicaps were added to each boat's actual time to give a total adjusted time. In this case the handicaps did not affect the rankings of any boats in either of the two races.
  3. ^ This handicap and total time is conjectural. Mallon lists Letot and Dupland in 10th place without giving either handicap or time. The boat's weight is listed as .8 tons, which would typically give it a lower handicap than the rest of the boats, all of which were 1 ton. However, a difference of even 1 minute would give Letot and Dupland a higher placing.
  4. ^ The German yacht was afterwards measured and disqualified. The measurement had shown that the tonnage of the yacht was 1.041 Ton.
