Olympic Sailing Videos

Streaming media the U.S.-- NBC holds the media rights for telecasting and online streaming of the Summer Games. NBC has announced that all 10 of the Olympic sailing events will be shown via live streaming online and apps for tablets and mobile devices. (Regular television broadcasts are not yet scheduled but will likely be less complete.) This streaming will be free for those who have most cable or satellite television subscriptions, but one will have to establish the account and set up a log-in in advance. See this NBC site for more information. It is as yet unclear whether/how those without a current cable/satellite subscription may be able to log in or find these events online elsewhere. (source)

2012 Olympics Info:
The waters of Weymouth Bay and Portland Harbour will play host to 10 exhilarating Sailing events during the London 2012 Olympic Games.

Venue: Weymouth and Portland
Dates: Sunday 29 July – Saturday 11 August, 2012
Medal events: 10
Athletes: 380 (237 men, 143 women)

Mastery over ever-changing conditions on open water requires skill and nerve. Both will be essential for competitors in the Sailing events at London 2012, 14 days of competition that should offer plenty of excitement and drama in the beautiful but testing waters of Weymouth Bay, on the south coast of England.

The basics:
At London 2012, the 10 different Olympic Sailing events (six for men, four for women) will feature a variety of craft, from dinghies and keelboats to windsurfing boards.

Each event consists of a series of races. Points in each race are awarded according to position: the winner gets one point, the second-placed finisher scores two, and so on. The final race is called the medal race, for which points are doubled. Following the medal race, the individual or crew with the fewest total points will be declared the winner.
