Notes

  1. ^ The 1900 Olympic scoring system was used.
  2. ^ Amulet had the third-fastest time, but lost to Nina-Claire as their lighter boat had a lower handicap.
  3. ^ This race saw with Aschenbrödel one more boat competing. One day earlier they had entered in the ½—1 ton class, but were not permitted to race as their boat weighed in at 1.041 tons. 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.
