18-Foot Dinghy, Open

Many recent sources list this event as having taken place. However, the only entrant was “Brat”, and Yachting World, a British boating magazine, states that the yacht did not appear to compete. But it should be noted that the Swedish yachting magazine Seglarbladet states that the “Brat” did start the first race but had a breakdown and then did not finish it. It is not really certain if this event was considered completed, nor is it known if Francis Richards and Trevor Hedberg received gold medals. In our statistics, we have not credited them with gold medals.
