The Swiss boat is listed in the OR as "eliminated". The helmsman was deemed a professional. It is logical to assume that the boat actually sailed (at least) one race, since they should have been able to compete regularly (even four-handed) if they had been told about the possible disqualification in advance. I consider the five crewmen true Olympians.
