The 18 foot Dinghy was used in the 1920 Summer Olympics as a double handed Olympic class. One team was present at the starting line and won the gold. Three races were scheduled, with final places decided by total points with point-for-place scoring for each race. Only one race was started with only Great Britain competing but accounts vary as to if they finished the race.Sailing at the 1920 Antwerpen Summer Games: Mixed 18 foot Race One sports-reference.com, accessed 12 November 2018
