Sailing - NBC Olympics
Sailing competitions have been held since the nineteenth century, although originally, no uniform set of rules existed for the sport. Instead, there were a variety of different yachting clubs in Europe, and each club devised and administered its own rules. When clubs competed against each other, conflicts arose over how the competitions should be held. Therefore, in 1881, after several sets of rules were proposed and rejected, several yacht clubs in England joined the Yacht Racing Association (YRA) and developed a set of rules for racing in British waters.
