The 470 is a double handed, mixed crew Olympic yacht.
470 Class Association website : http://www.470.org/
The 470 is a light and narrow boat (length 4.7m and beam 1.7m with a weight of 120kg), that responds easily and immediately to body movement.
The skipper is normally smaller and lighter (1.65m to 1.8m and 55kg to 65kg) and the crew is taller (1.75m to 1.85m yet only 65kg -75kg). The crew's build lets him or her hang far out on the trapeze to keep the boat level in all conditions.
Since our first build in 1993, a Mackay built 470 has helped produce Olympic glory and world champion sailors year on year. Over the years we have refined our knowledge on what makes this boat go fast.
Our boats have a reputation for high strength and stiffness . We focus on these two areas so that the boat will hold high rig tension and not flex in the bow and mid sections.
It also means that the tune of the boat will not change through a season of racing so that the rig tensions and mast bends will not alter as the season progresses.
In 2018 we produced a new mould which we believe is the ultimate for a mixed crew combination heading to Paris 2024.
The mould is designed to maximise the energy from body pumping while also making the boat easy to sail. It was designed with help from sailors, Nathan Wilmont and Jo Aleh, who worked alongside our navel architect, Kevin Trotter.
Part of the success with our latest design comes from adding a little bouyancy in the back of the boat which will make it easier to steer in waves and easier to catch small waves downwind. Bouyancy is also added in the front to balance the changes in the stern.
All of the ribs on our boats are vacuum clamped foam with chopped mat and uni-directional rovings on top. We obtain extra strength from the rigidity of the foam itself.
The construction techniques we use give greater longevity and therefore eliminate the need to replace the boat every year or two. We believe that our construction techniques are as advanced as allowed by the rules.
The building process also involves a considerable amount of custom workmanship. We concentrate on building fewer boats but of a very high quality. We have placed the greatest importance on workmanship, care and attention to detail.
International 470 Class History
In 1963, French architect Andre Cornu designed the two-handed centerboard boat as a modern high performance fiberglass planing dinghy which could be sailed by anyone. And the craft so influenced European sailing that the 470 is directly credited with drawing new sailors to the sport during the 1960s and '70s.
The 470 has been an Olympic class boat since 1976. It is sailed today for both family recreation and superior competition by more than 30,000 sailors in 42 countries worldwide.
In 1988, women officially entered Olympic sailing competition with the first-ever 470 Women's event. This boat is especially well-suited to women's competition because of its light weight, maneuverability and light crew weight requirement.

470: Recent Success for Mackay Boats
470: The history of its success
Can mackay's customise the layout of the boat.
Yes. Nearly all 470 are customised to suit your own preferences.
What can be customised?
We offer options for most control systems on the boats. Go to our 470 order form to see the options available. International 470 Package - Mackay Boats - NZL
Can you do other fitout options not on the list?
Yes. Many teams send us pictures with their own personal systems for us to copy.
What fitout options do the top crews choose?
All teams have something slightly different, but generally most top teams choose the continuous rig tension system (Option c) , the 4:1 up with 2:1 down centreboard system (Option a) and the carbon jib brackets. These are the only 2 systems that most top teams have in common.
How to do a gelcoat repair?
Small gel coat repairs are relatively easy to do.
What is Gelcoat made up of?
Gelcoat is a polyester product that is cured by using a catalyst called MEKP. (Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide)
MEKP is a dangerous substance and should be treated as such when using, being very careful not to get any on your skin or in your eyes.
How can I get the catalyst - MERK?
We cannot ship MEKP so you will always need to buy it separately from your local marine store or fibreglass manufacturer.
How much MERK do I need?
The amount of Catalyst varies depending on the conditions you are using it in, but around 2%-3% will always work.
It is best to use a small syringe or dropper to get the required catalyst rate.
If you have mixed 100gm of gelcoat, then you are aiming for 2ml of catalyst.
What are the Gelcoat colours?
Gelcoats colours are not always a 100% perfect match.
Colour will vary depending on the depth of the repair and the batch.
470 White- LS30 White PA 337
470 Grey- Grey RAL 7035
Blue = is supplier by Nuplex who have their own code which is not an international code
Does Mackay Boats supply gelcoat?
We supply a small tin (of each relevant colour) with each new boat.
Order additional gelcoat from our store, although it cannot be shipped by courier.
How do I do gelcoat repairs?
Doing gelcoat repairs is an art that improves with experience.
Making sure the surface is prepared well and keyed up is critical.
Overfill and then sanding back is a slow and time-consuming process.
Be very careful not to scratch the boat around the repair.
You shouldn’t sand the original surface around the repair with any paper coarser than 600grit.
Mask around the repair to protect the boat.
You can initially use a file or 150g to take the high parts off the filling, but don't use the coarse paper for too long or you will end up with scratches in the finished repair.
Once you have it fair with 600g, you can work your way through the sandpaper grades until you finish with 1500grit before cutting and polishing.
We would typically use 600g, then 800g or 1000g, then 1200g, then finally 1500g.

470 presentation
The 470, a fine and very seaworthy dinghy.
With close to 38,000 units distributed worldwide, there are many opportunities and good deals are commonplace. This boat is also perfectly adapted for cruising for all sizes. With little canvas, the 470 is perfectly suited to mixed crews and is particularly at ease in the breeze.
The most well-known shipyards are : Morin, Nautivela, Mackay, Ziegelmayer.
470 dinghies prices, brands, program
For leisure: aim for an old 470 from the Morin, Lanaverre, Parker or Roga yards. These boats will be affordable, but will require some refurbishment or restoration. The budget for this programme starts at 500 or 1000€ depending on the condition, the equipment and the level of maintenance.
For a mixed programme, touring, local regatta, a more recent boat, with better performance and better sails will be preferred, a Nautivela from the 2000s for example will do the job well, you should aim for between 2000 and 3000€ to find a second-hand boat in good condition and well equipped.
For a regatta and competition programme, you will need a high-performance 470. A rigid, well equipped and optimised boat: the price will necessarily be higher and you should aim for 470s produced by Mackay or Ziegelmayer.
A new 470 from Mackay Boats for example is sold for over 20,000€. Second hand 470s can be found for as little as 500€.

What Sailboats Are Used In The Olympics?
Last Updated by
Daniel Wade
May 19, 2023
Key Takeaways
- Laser is the most popular Olympic sailboat brand in the world
- Men and women compete with similar sailboats in the Olympics
- Olympic sports have evolved over time and so have the types of boat classes
- iQFoil and kiteboarding are making their first appearance in Olympic sailing
- Sailors have to adapt to certain boat types and be used to a course
Various types of sailboats are specifically used for Olympic sailing. But what sailboats are used in the Olympics?
The Laser Radial, RS:X, and Nacra 17 are a few of the sailboats used for Olympic games. These are used in different sailing competitions such as dinghy, high performance skiff, and mixed multihull. The Olympic sailing classes will vary and so will the boats being used.
Upon closer analysis, the Laser Radial is arguably the most popular boat when it comes to olympic sailing. A lot of these boats are also great for other activities on the water, not just Olympic competition.
Table of contents
The Types of Sailboats Used in the Olympics
Each time the Olympics occurs the types of races slightly change. This also changes the type of boat that is going to be used. The International Sailing Federation chooses the types of sailboats used in each Olympic games.
For the following boats we will look at the 2024 Olympics taking place in Paris . Men and women will use different boats. There will also be two new events for the first time ever known as iQFoil and kiteboarding so they will be making their Olympic debut.
Men’s Boat Types
The men’s class will be using the following boat types:
- Single handed or one person dinghy sailing: ILCA 7
- Men’s skiff boats: 49er
- Windsurfer (new) – iQFoil and kiteboarding
Women’s Boat Types
The women will compete with very similar boat types as follows:
- Single handed dinghy: ILCA 6
- Skiff: 49er FX (lighter and slightly smaller than the 49er)
- Windsurfer (new): iQFoil and kiteboarding.
Mixed Class
When looking at the mixed class of Olympic sailing they showcase:
- Mixed multihull for both men and women: Nacra 17 Foiling
- Mixed Two Person Dinghy for both men and women: 470
Boat Classification for Olympic Sailing
As mentioned, the boat types vary based on men’s and women’s racing events for Olympic classes. Each year the classification might change so sailors must be prepared to do their best for a medal race. But what do the boat classifications mean for Olympic world sailing?
Dinghy Sailing
Dinghy sailing uses a small boat meant for one individual to sail and is present in all events across the board for Olympic games. The most common dinghy boat that is raced for Olympic sailing is the ILCA 7 and was used recently in the Tokyo Olympics. The main difference is that the mixed class features a two person sailing competition or referred to as two person dinghy racing.
Windsurfing
Windsurfing requires strong winds in order to be successful. With a combination of strong wind conditions and the waves sailors must utilize both in order to succeed. For the first time ever in the Olympic games the men’s windsurfer and women’s windsurfer will be racing with iQFoil .
Skiff Racing
Skiffs are a flat bottom boat that are withered powered by sails or you can use oars. The women’s skiff uses the 49er FX which is slightly smaller and less weight than the men’s skiff. This allows easier handle for the women’s skiff races since there is less crew weight on board.
Multihull Racing
In multihull races it means that boats with more than one hull are competing. The Nacra 17 Foiling is a catamaran that uses a foil to help race. Depending on the type multihull race that is being ran will determine the type of multihull being used.
Boat Features That Make a Great Olympic Sailboat
A racing boat that is used for a sailing competition on the water is only as good as the person sailing it. However there are boats that are designed to go faster than others and make the difference in gold medals or none at all.
Types of Sails
The perfect combination of sails that are optimized for Olympic games are a bermuda sail and gaff sail. This allows the sailor to utilize more sailing area since there is limited pole space.
Since you have the combination of both sails, it allows you to powerfully sail without having the drawbacks from a longer pole such as difficulty maneuvering and strength needed to change direction. This means you can control the boat more efficiently.
Types of Rigging
Bermuda is the most common sail but gaffs are a close second. With a combination of both this means the rigging setup is likely different the just one or the other. Depending on the rig setup it might be best to operate a few different types in order to see which rigging is best for you.
Easy to Use
The best sailing boats in the Olympic games are ones that sail the fastest but are also the easiest to use. With proper training the boat might not matter a lot if you are experienced but every second matters. You want boats that allow you to execute a sailing plan and remain steady while using in medal events.
What is Olympic Sailing?
Olympic sports have had a variety of changes since the 1900’s. Sailing was introduced during this time and has been a part of the Olympics around 1908. Women were allowed to compete in 1988 for sailing and two Americans won a gold medal.
The phrasing was originally called yachting and then sailing in the 2000’s to help mirror the common way to describe boats on the water with sails. There have been many variations of sailboats that are used as well as the race types conducted. The boat types have grown into specific monotypes due to their size and weight.
How to Be an Olympic Sailor
In order to compete for the 2024 Paris Olympics sailors must compete in a variety of events in order to earn quotas such as the 2023 Sailing World Championships. There are certain qualifications that you must meet before applying.
Sailing World Championships
In August 2023 sailors will compete in the Netherlands to try to earn quotas for various racing events. The following events will take place and the amount of quotas will be given:
- Windsurfing: 11 for both men and women
- Kite: eight for both men and women
- Dinghy: 16 for both men and women and eight for mixed
- Skiff: 10 for both men and women
- Mixed Multihull: Nine
ILCA World Championships
Men and women that are not yet qualified for the Sailing World Championships can qualify for the dinghy events. The highest rated in the National Olympic Committee can compete for this in 2024 if they are not able to land a spot in the 2023 Sailing World Championships.
Continental Qualification
Sailors that have not yet qualified for the Sailing World Championships and the ILCA can receive quotas among various regions. There are 74 quotas in total that will be awarded which are going to be used for:
- 31 for women
- 12 for mixed
Last Chance
The highest ratings in the National Olympic Committee that are not yet qualified from the previous events can receive 34 quota places in the Last Chance Regatta. This event will take place some time in 2024 and include:
- Windsurfing: Five for both men and women
- Kite: Five for both men and women
- Dinghy: Three for both men and women and four for mixed
- Skiff: Three for both men and women
- Mixed Multihull: Three
Emerging Nations and Universality
Those that are part of the World Sailing Emerging Nations Program who have not yet qualified must compete in the Last Chance Regatta. Based on those results one man and women each per windsurfing and dinghy sailing can earn quotas.
In Universality places there will be four quotas total. Two are for the men’s while the other two are for the women’s. These are only for the dinghy races and are accounted for by the Tripartite Commission once the Last Chance Regatta has been completed.

Fernando Sallent
When Fernando Sallent was 10 years old, a friend of his father bought him an Optimist dinghy. From then on Fernando was hooked. As an adult, his first business venture was Technik Boats, a small Optimist shipyard, but it was the physics of sailing that really intrigued him. "I always had a passion for finding a way to make boats go faster," he said.
That passion led him to La Industrial Velera Marsal, a local sailmaker who made all of his sails by hand. Fernando worked there learning the basics of sailmaking while also running Technick Boats. After taking a year off to serve in the military, he decided to leave Technick and joined Toni Tio Sail Loft. Toni Tio was only designing cruising sails at the time, so Fernando came on board to lead the One Design section of the company.
In 1996, Toni and Fernando visited the Quantum Annapolis loft, and in 2000 they joined the Quantum Sails team.

1980 Moscow Olympic Games Sailing CompetitionThe Sailing program of 1980 consisted of a total of six sailing classes (disciplines). Russia had been part of the Olympics since 1900, and though the status of Finland, Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia had caused political problems in the past, it was nothing like the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979. The USA failed to have a boycott of the Moscow Games imposed but a high number of countries, probably 40-50, or individual sports federations, decided not to send teams. The official tally shows 80 nations competing where they had been 92 and 121 in Montreal and Munich. In sporting terms the notable absentees were the USA, Japan and West Germany and along with these three, Australia, Britain, Canada and France were missing from the sailing competition. Competitors were reduced too, with only 83 boats contesting the six classes, the smallest total since 1956. For each class seven races were scheduled from 19 to 29 July 1980 of the coast of Tallinn (district of Pirita), in that time an annexed part of the USSR at the Baltic Sea. The sailing was done on the triangular type Olympic courses.  470 Open ResultsTallinn olympic harbour. |
