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]
