A total of 21 countries have qualified athletes. The number of athletes a nation has entered is in parentheses beside the name of the country.
A total of 140 sailors and 85 boats qualified to compete at the games. A nation may enter a maximum of one boat in each of the ten events and a maximum of eighteen athletes. Each event had different qualifying events that began in 2013. [8] However, on December 22, 2014 the Pan American Sailing Federation announced the total quota was raised to 148 athletes and 93 boats (with the laser and laser standard events each receiving an additional four boats). This was done because the event became an Olympic qualifier. [5]
