Sailing at the 1964 Summer Olympics

For each class, seven races were scheduled; these took place from 12 to 23 October 1964 off the coast of Enoshima in Sagami Bay.

[1] At the IOC session in 1959, Japan stated that yachting would take place in the port of Yokohama, as was the plan for 1940.

Later, when it became clear that Yokohama was not suitable for Olympic-level sailing, it was decided that yachting events would be held off the coast of Enoshima Island in Kanagawa Prefecture on the bay of Sagami.

The Japanese Sea Self-Defense Forces vessels supported the race management and specially the placements of the marks.
