In the regatta taking place in Meulan-en-Yvelines , he failed to cross the finish line in the first race and only finished seventh in the second, so that Høy-Petersen missed the qualification for the final round. Four years later he took second place in the 6-meter class as a crew member of the Hi-Hi behind the Norna from Norway by Johan Anker and in front of the Tutti V from Estonia by Nikolai Vekšin and thus received alongside Niels Møller , Sven Linck and Peter Schlütter and skipper Vilhelm Vett received the silver medal.
