The sport made its Olympic debut in 1900 and, with the exception of 1904, it has appeared at every summer games since. This year's competition will have six classes, four (Laser, RS:X, 470 and 49er) competed by men and women, one (Finn) competed only by men, and the final (Nacra 17) being a mixed event.
That is one of these sports I think that doing it by myself is the way funnier than to watch it in TV. I would love to get sailing practice one day, just to make an experience.
