This section tabulates the heads of qualification in a form suitable to be filled in as events progress. The full qualification rules[1] for sailing published by WS contain intricate conditions too lengthy for inclusion in Wikipedia.
This article details the qualifying phase for sailing at the 2024 Summer Olympics. 312 quota places for the Games are entitled to the sailors coming from their respective NOCs, based on the results at designated regattas supervised by World Sailing. Host nation France reserves a single boat in each of the ten sailing classes, whereas four quota places (two per gender) are distributed to the NOCs competing in the men's singlehander ILCA 7 and women's singlehander ILCA 6 under the Tripartite Commission.[2]
The qualification period commenced at the 2023 Sailing World Championships in The Hague, Netherlands, where 107 places, about forty percent of the total quota, will be awarded to the highest-ranked NOCs across ten different sailing classes. Subsequently, each class will award one quota place at their respective continental championship regattas (Africa, Asia, Central & South America, Europe, North America & Caribbean, and Oceania) with the exception of the ILCA classes, which will award quota places as follows. Seven places will be distributed to sailors representing the highest-finishing, not previously qualified NOCs at each of the 2024 Men's singlehander ILCA 7 and Women's singlehander ILCA 6 World Championships. Each Singlehander continental qualification event will award two quota places with the exception of Asia, which will award one quota place at the 2023 Asian Games in China and two quota places at the Asian Olympic qualifier event in Thailand.[2]
The remainder of the total quota places for all classes will be awarded to the eligible NOCs at the 2024 Last Chance Regatta in Hyères, France (39 boats in total) and as part of the World Sailing Emerging Nations Program (two boats per gender each in windsurfing and dinghy).[2]
