In the French capital Paris during the World Fair ( Exposition Universelle et Internationale de Paris ) discharged international competitions for Physical Education and Sport (Concours Internationaux d'Exercices physiques et de Sports) included competitions in sailing , are part of the Summer Olympic Games 1900 (Games of the II. Olympiad) were.
The boats were divided into 7 different tonner classes . With the exception of the largest class (from 20 tons), for which there was a single race, a joint race for all boat classes , the Course d'honneur et d'ensemble , was held at the beginning of the regattas . In the following days, two races were held in the five smallest boat classes. Each race had its own rating with honors and awards. For the sixth boat class (10 to 20 tons) there were three races, which, however, did not have their own rating, but were combined into an overall rating. This results in 13 independent competitions.
Boats were registered for the regattas, not teams. Most of the time, only the owner's name appears in the winners' lists. Even if the boats usually had a regular crew, it is not clear whether they actually sailed. Sports historians have established the names of 95 participants, but another 81 athletes remain unknown. It was also not uncommon for sailors from other nations to sail in a boat. The IOC's usual way of doing this is to score as a mixed team .
The sailing competitions of the five smaller boat classes took place between May 20th and 27th on the Seine near Meulan . The two larger boat classes sailed in the English Channel off Le Havre from August 1st to 6th.
