The Paris 2024 Sailing Competition will be held in the city of Marseille on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. The Roucas-Blanc Marina, to be known as the Marseille Marina for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, a point of departure for boats, has been adapted to stage a competition on the scale of the Olympic Games.

The site’s exceptional exposure to Marseille’s Plages du Prado will enable the thousands of spectators who make the trip in 2024 to follow the events from up close. The quality of the water conditions off the coast of Marseille, with relatively constant winds and a coastal configuration that is correctly oriented in relation to the dominant winds, without any currents or tides, will ensure ideal tactical and strategic conditions for the competitors.More than 250 boats are expected to feature on the start lines of the Paris 2024 Olympic Sailing Competition.

In total, the Paris 2024 Olympic Games will feature 330 athletes in the sailing competition, split evenly between male and female sailors.
