Today, the Olympic and Paralympic Games 2028 announced the finalized Sailing venue plan, which will include events at both the Port of Los Angeles in the iconic LA28 Games Host City of Los Angeles and Belmont Shore in the Venue City of Long Beach. Both venues offer favorable racing conditions for the best sailors in the world to compete in their specific events while also ensuring spectators have optimal viewing conditions, providing a more immersive and heightened overall fan experience.
Belmont Shore and the Port of Los Angeles are centrally located within LA28’s larger Games Plan and will attract fans and viewers from around the world with their reliable conditions, picturesque coastal backdrops and exciting competition atmospheres. The Port of Los Angeles will host six (6) boat events: Men’s and Women’s Dinghy, Men’s and Women’s Skiff, Mixed Dinghy and Mixed Multihull. Belmont Shore in Long Beach will host four (4) board events: Men’s and Women’s Windsurfing and Men’s and Women’s Kite.
During the 1932 Olympics, the Port of Los Angeles hosted sailing at their Outer Harbor and during the 1984 Games, Long Beach hosted Sailing. In 2028, both venues will welcome the sport back, continuing their Olympic legacy.
To optimize viewership opportunities for the sport and its dedicated fanbase, as well as media and broadcast coverage, the events will be staged consecutively with the boards first up at Belmont Shore in Long Beach, followed by the boat racing portion of the sailing competition in Port of Los Angeles. The two venues are approximately 10 miles from each other.
