Qualification system[edit]
On January 17, 2019, it was announced that an 11th medal event (the 49er for men) was added to the list of medal events, with two additional boats being added in the Nacra 17 event.[1][2] This meant the total quota rose to 168 sailors and 116 boats overall, with each nation allowed to enter a maximum of 17 athletes. The host nation (Peru) automatically qualified in all eleven events (17 athletes).[3] Each event will have different qualifying events that began in 2017.[3][4]
Originally, a total of 148 sailors and 106 boats were scheduled to qualify to compete at the games. A nation was allowed to enter a maximum of one boat in each of the ten events and a maximum of 15 athletes.[5]
