LA28 announced the finalized Sailing venue plan, which will include events at both the Port of Los Angeles and Belmont Shore in Long Beach. This announcement and partnership with the City of Long Beach optimizes the competition experience for athletes and spectators while ensuring that the entire Harbor region benefits from the 2028 Games. San Pedro will continue its Olympic legacy as a premier sailing venue. In 2028, the Port of Los Angeles will host six boat events: Men’s and Women’s Dinghy, Men’s and Women’s Skiff, Mixed Dinghy and Mixed Multihull.
“Sailing has a long history in our city and San Pedro will shine on the world stage,” said Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. “We look forward to welcoming the world’s best sailors to compete in these exciting events. I want to thank Councilmember McOsker and all of the partners for coming together as we continue to prepare for the 2028 Games.”
“Long Beach is the premiere location for windsurfing and kite – two outstanding sailing events that will captivate spectators,” said Long Beach Mayor Rex Richardson. “We hosted Sailing competitions during the 1984 Olympic Games, and we cannot wait to continue our legacy and show our beautiful coastline to the world once again in 2028.”
“After close coordination with the Cities of Los Angeles and Long Beach, along with collaboration from World Sailing, we are excited about the opportunity to utilize two of the best locations along the Pacific coastline for Sailing competitions in 2028,” said LA28 Chief Executive Officer Reynold Hoover. “We look forward to hosting the world’s best sailors in our iconic Host City of LA and the Venue City of Long Beach as both locations prepare to stage unforgettable events.”
“Nearly a century after the Port of Los Angeles first welcomed Olympic sailors in 1932, we’re bringing that spirit back home with ten sailing events across our Southern California coastline in 2028. This will be a moment of pride for every family and every neighborhood in our city,” said Los Angeles City Council President Marqueece Harris-Dawson.
“I’m thrilled that the LA Harbor and San Pedro will host sailing competitions during the 2028 Olympic Games! It’s important that these Games are a success, not just for our city, but for the world,” said Los Angeles City Councilmember Tim McOsker. “I’m grateful to the LA28 committee and to the passionate sailing advocates from the One-Five and beyond who helped make this possible. I look forward to working with LA28 to ensure that the Games uplift the sports, inspire fans, highlight the immense talent of the athletes, and showcase the very best of the LA Harbor and the City of Los Angeles on the global stage.”
“The Port of Los Angeles is honored to host multiple sailing events during the 2028 Olympic Gamesat our Outer Harbor,” said Port of Los Angeles Executive Director Gene Seroka. “We look forward to the ongoing partnership with LA28 as we prepare to bring the world’s greatest athletes to America’s Port.”
During the 1932 Olympics, the Port of Los Angeles hosted sailing at their Outer Harbor and during the 1984 Games, Long Beach hosted Sailing. In 2028, both venues will welcome the sport back, continuing their Olympic legacy.
