Sailing at the 2008 Summer Olympics - Finn class

Finn class competition at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing took place between August 9 and 17 in Qingdao, at the Qingdao International Marina.

26 sailors competed in this Finn dinghy competition.

Points were assigned based on the finishing position in each race (1 for first, 2 for second, etc.). The points were totaled from the top 9 results of the first 10 races, with lower totals being better. If a sailor was disqualified or did not complete the race, 27 points were assigned for that race (one more than the number of boats). The top 10 sailors then competed in the final race, with placings counting double for that race. The sailor with the lowest total score won.
