Race schedule

Because of insufficient wind the scheduled race in the Dragon was postponed on 5 September 1972. Due to the interruption of the Games on 6 September 1972, the race was postponed till 7 September. Then the race conditions were unsuitable. Heavy fog and poor wind conditions made it not possible to race until September 8. Finally for the Dragon only six regattas took place.
