The 0 to 0.5 ton was a sailing event on the Sailing at the 1900 Summer Olympics program in Meulan. Seven boats started during the two races in the 0 – 0.5 ton. Eleven competitors from France are documented. The races were held on 22 and 24 May 1900 on the river Seine.
For the 0 to 0.5 ton the 8 kilometres (4.3 nmi) course in the Meulan course area was used.
Course area Meulan
The race was troublesome due to an almost complete absence of any wind. Also the fact that the wind there was came perpendicular to the course (river Seine) and was blocked or diverted by trees and buildings.
Two separate races were sailed. No combined results were made.
