For the 8 Metre the used courses were about 5 [[Nautical mile|nm]] out of the locks, East of the Isle of [[Marken]] on the [[Zuiderzee]].

At that time the Zuiderzee had an open connection with the [[North Sea]]. The sea water was salt or at best [[Brackish water|brackish]]. Waves could be steep and short due to the [[Waves and shallow water|shallow water]]s.

== Results<ref name="B" /> ==
== Courses at the Zuiderzee ==
The [[Scoring systems for Sailing at the Summer Olympics#1928 Olympic scoring system|1928 Olympic scoring system]] was used.
To get from the Olympic Harbor to the courses the 6 & 8 Metre classes had to sail about 8 nautical miles (one way). This also included the passing of a lock.

[[File:Course area 6 & 8 Metre 1928.png|thumb|The 1928 Olympic courses of the 6 & 8 Metre projected on the current map of The Netherlands]]
=== Final results<ref name="D" />===
The map gives an idea of the courses used for the 6 & 8 Metre during the 1928 Olympic sailing event. When the sailors from the 1928 Summer Olympics could return to their venue they would hardly recognize it since most of the water is now reclaimed land.

Course area and course configuration[1]

[edit]

For the 8 Metre the used courses were about 5 nm out of the locks, East of the Isle of Marken on the Zuiderzee.

At that time the Zuiderzee had an open connection with the North Sea. The sea water was salt or at best brackish. Waves could be steep and short due to the shallow waters.
