Erik Lindh, who was a member of Wiborgs Läns Segelförening , took part in the 1912 Olympic Games in Stockholm in the 10-meter class as a crew member of the Nina . At the regatta taking place in Nynäshamn , Nina finished the first race in second and the second race in third place. Since the Gallia II from the Russian Empire also achieved a second and a third place, there was a jump-off between the two boats, in which the Nina prevailed.
