Only nine races were completed including the medal race due to lack of wind. 45 sailors, on 15 boats, from 15 nations competed. [3] Ten boats qualified for the medal race. [4] [5]

For the Yngling course areas A (Yellow) and E (Pink) were used. The location (36°1'26"’N, 120°26'52"E) points to the center of the 0.6nm radius Yellow course area and the location (36°2'44"N, 120°28'9"E) points to the center of the 0.75nm radius Pink course area. The target time for the course was about 60 minutes for the races and 30 minutes for the medal race. The race management could choose from several course configurations.
In the lead up to the Olympics many questioned the choice of Qingdao as a venue with very little predicted wind. During the races the wind was pretty light and quite unpredictable. Due to lack of wind (< 1.6 knots) one racing day was cancelled and the medal race was postponed to the next day. [8]
