The sport of yachting [now sailing] is included in the programme of the Olympic Games since 1896. ... One race per day in each event is held for four days.

The final three races are held one per day after the scheduled spare days. Events are held in seven classes: Finn class, 470 class, Flying Dutchman class, Star class, Soling class, Tornado class and, since 1984, Windglider class (boardsailing). 3, record 1, English, - sailing
