Biography
Robert Johanny was the first ever Austrian Olympic sailor who participated in the 12-foot one-person dinghy at the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics. He failed to qualify for the final round and eventually finished 19th and last.
Johanny, a lawyer by profession, was a very active member of the Union Yachtclub Wörthersee and a long-time chairman. From 1924, he organised regular competitions with Hungarian and German sailors, resulting in the first European Championships at Wörthersee in 1934.
