1980 Olympic boycott
The boycott affected the medalists in most sailing events with a number of European and World champions not participating. In the Soiling, the Canadian World champion team of Glen Dexter, Andreas Josenhans and [Sandy McMillan] was absent. Some British athletes participated in the Games under a neutral flag, but the sailing federation chose to join the boycott.[2] In several classes an alternative sailing event was organized by the boycotting nations, with the Flying Dutchman class having been held Luxembourg.[3]
