During race No. II one of the marks was drifting the race was cancelled (Nullified). Since the organizers did not have the time to re-sail the race that week the two remaining races were rescheduled for September 3. Because both contenders were Dutch, the organizers requested the Dutch Olympic Committee to organize the race in Amsterdam Buiten Y
Cornelis Hin helmed in race No. I and the cancelled race No. II, Frans Hin helmed the two races in Amsterdam
