Three medals are awarded at the Games. These are the 2.4mR, SKUD 18 and Sonar classes, which involve one, two and three sailors per boat respectively.
Each competition consists of a series of up to 11 races, weather permitting.
After each race, sailors accumulate points according to their positions: one point for first, two for second, and so on.
At the end of the races, all points except each team’s worst score are added up.
The winner is the sailor or team with the fewest points at the end of the races.
