History of Sailing
Sailing, previously known as yachting, developed as a sport from an ancient means of transport over water.
It is thought to have begun in the Netherlands, with the word 'yacht' based on the Dutch word 'jaght', meaning 'light shipping or naval craft'.
The sport was brought to England by King Charles II, who discovered it during his exile in the Netherlands in the mid-16th century.
International competition started in 1851 when an American crew sailed across the Atlantic to take part in a race around the Isle of Wight.
The event was re-named the America’s Cup, which remains one of the most prestigious competitions in sailing today.
The sport of Sailing at the Olympic Games now includes Windsurfing, Dinghy, Keelboat and Match racing.
Sailing at the Games
Sailing entered the Olympic programme in Paris 1900 as an event for both men and women. The sport was left out of the St Louis 1904 Games because of problems transporting boats and equipment from Europe to inland America. It returned at London 1908, and has been part of every Games since.
The number and type of Sailing events has changed many times over the years, with different boats popular at different times. Windsurfing was introduced as a Sailing event at Los Angeles in 1984, and women had their own discipline from 1988. Before this they competed on equal terms with the men.
