The women's RS:X was a sailing event on the Sailing at the 2012 Summer Olympics program in Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy.[1] Eleven races (last one a medal race) were scheduled and completed. 27 sailors, on 27 boards, from 27 nations competed. Ten boards qualified for the medal race on course area Nothe in front of Weymouth, where each position scored double points.

Summary

[edit]

New Zealand Yachting, the National Authority for sailing in New Zealand made the decision not to be represented in the Women's RS:X. The decision was partly based upon the fact that windsurfing would not be on the 2016 program.[2] After the 2012 Olympics the decision to discontinue windsurfing was reverted.
