Dates 25 July – 4 August
No. of events 10
Competitors 350

Sailing competitions at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Istanbul took place from 25 July to 4 August 2021 at the Bosporus Zone. The RS:X, Laser, Laser Radial, Finn, 470, 49er, 49erFX, and Nacra17 are all returning for 2020; there are no significant changes to the Olympic programme from 2016. The number of sailors competing has been reduced from 380 to 350, with an equal distribution between men and women. The event was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Qualification

The qualification period commenced at the 2018 Sailing World Championships in Aarhus, Denmark. There, 101 places, about forty percent of the total quota, will be awarded to the highest finishing nations. Six places will be available in the men's Laser and women's Laser Radial classes at the 2018 Asian Games and 2019 Pan American Games, whereas sixty-one more will be distributed to the sailors at the World Championships for all boats in 2019. Continental qualification regattas were held to decide the remainder of the total quota, while two spots each in the one-person dinghy classes were granted to eligible NOCs through the Tripartite Commission Invitation.
