The VII. Summer Olympic Games in 1920 in Antwerp were in the North Sea before Oostende 14 competitions in sailing held, ten more than the 1912th

Two competitions (8.5-meter-1919, 9-meter-1907) did not take place due to a lack of participants. Only one of the participating boats, the second Belgian in the 6-meter type 1907 class, did not win a medal. Six gold medals were given to Scandinavian boats that had no competitors in their classes.

Both yachts came from Sweden, between which there was no real competition on the water. The regatta consisted of three races. In the first, both participating yachts Sif and Elsie were disqualified because they had not sailed the correct course. In the second race, Sif won because Elsie had problems with her rigging and could not finish the race. Elsie could not fix these problems until the third race and therefore could not start. So Sif sailed the course alone and won the gold medal.
