The 0.5 to 1 ton was a sailing event on the Sailing at the 1900 Summer Olympics program in Meulan. Twenty boats started during the two races in the 0.5 to 1 ton. thirty–five competitors from three countries are documented. The races were held on 24 and 25 May 1900 on the river Seine.
For the 0.5 to 1 ton the 15 kilometres (8.1 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 what 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.
