Venue

The LA28 sailing events will take place from 16 July 2028 to 28 July 2028, showcasing the best of the sport across two iconic Southern California locations with Belmont Shore in the 2028 Venue City of Long Beach staging the board events and the Port of Los Angeles in the Host City of LA hosting the boat events.

Men’s and Women’s Kite will be the first sailing medals decided, on 19 July 2028, followed by Men’s and Women’s Windsurfing the next day.

Men’s and Women’s Dinghy is the opening event of the boat-based events, followed by Mixed Multihull and Mixed Dinghy. Men’s and Women’s Skiff will be the final medals of the Olympic Sailing Competition to be decided.

In a move designed to maximise spectator engagement and broadcast coverage, the 10 sailing events will be staged consecutively. The competition will kick off at the historic Belmont Shore in Long Beach, which also hosted sailing during the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics and will also host the Open Water Swimming and Coastal Beach Sprint Rowing as part of an aquatics hub for the Games. Following the completion of the board events, the competition will move to the Port of Los Angeles for the boat-based events.

The LA28 Olympic Games will run from 14-30 July 2028, with sailing poised to be a highlight of the Games, demonstrating speed, skill, and strategy against the stunning backdrop of the Pacific coast.
