Sailing competitions at the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto will be held from July 12 to 19 at the Royal Canadian Yacht Club's ferry station and parking lot on the mainland side of the harbour. Spectator viewing areas were available for free on Sugar Beach and the surrounding boardwalk. A total of ten events were contested (two for men, three for women and five mixed gender events).
Originally nine medal events were scheduled to be contested at the games, but a tenth medal event (the women's 49erFX) was added to the program. This was done to get the event to have more gender equality.
The top placing athlete from North America and South America in the men's laser and women's laser radial, all qualified for the sailing competitions at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
