1-2 Ton Race Two, Open

Date27 May 1900 — 13:20
StatusOlympic
LocationCercle de la Voile de Paris, Meulan
Participants21 from 3 countries
Format15 km.

Race Two in this class took place five days after Race One, on 27 May. It was contested over 15 km, as opposed to Race One, which covered 19 km. Handicap adjustments were made because of the differing race lengths.

Race Two was dominated by the German yacht “Aschenbrödel,” which had been disqualified in Race One of the ½-1 ton class for being over the allowed category. Times in the second race were much slower, despite the shorter course, because of the lack of wind.

Interestingly, the first three yachts in Race One finished in the same order, but in second, third and fourth place, behind “Aschenbrödel,” which had Paul Wiesner as helmsman. The last placed “Ducky” took almost 1½ hours longer than the top-placed yacht.

Prizes for both races in this class were as follows: 1st – 600 francs; 2nd – 400 francs; 3rd – 250 francs; 4th – 100 francs; and 5th – 50 francs.
