2000 Olympic Games
The 2000 Olympic Sailing Regatta was held in Sydney, Australia from 15 - 30 September 2000.
The 2000 Olympic Sailing Regatta, marking 100 years of sailing's inclusion in the Olympics, proved a superb event that produced eleven worthy Gold Medallists. A fantastic facility ashore, excellent race management afloat and a friendly co-operative spirit from all those involved made this a regatta by which all future events will be judged.
A total of 402 sailors (target 400) from 69 nations competed in eleven different disciplines for a total of 33 medals. A superb effort from the British saw them comfortably at the top of the medals table with three Gold and two Silver, followed by the host nation, Australia with two gold, one silver and one bronze.
