A means of transport since antiquity, the competitive sport of sailing is a unique combination of athleticism, skill and technology used to harness the power of the wind and waves.
Sailing was first contested as an Olympic sport in Paris in 1900, although the race format and the classes of competing boats have changed significantly since then reflecting the global spread of the sport as sailing has become more accessible around the world. Olympic racing is now conducted with boats categorised into one-design classes based on similar weights and measurements.
