The 1920 Olympic scoring system was used. All competitors were male.
Notes This was probably the least interesting event in the history of Olympic sailing: only one competitor turned up, and in the first of the planned races they failed to finish, not appearing for the remaining three. Similarly Stan Rowley (in the 1900 5000 m team race) won an Olympic gold medal despite not finishing their event.
