John Symington Aspin (21 March 1877, Anderston, Glasgow – 19 February 1960) was a Scottish businessman and sailor who competed for the Royal Clyde Yacht Club at Hunters Quay and represented Great Britain at the 1908 Summer Olympics.[1][2][3]
He was a crew member on the Hera, which finished first of two teams competing in the 12 metre class.[4][5] At the time, only the helmsman and mate were awarded gold medals, while the crew received silver medals.[4] However, Aspin is credited as having received a gold medal in the official Olympic database.[1]
