The sailing competition in the 470 at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London was held from August 2nd to 8th at the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy . 54 athletes (27 crews) took part.

The competition was carried out in ten regattas ( Fleet Race ). The first nine races were completed by all starters. Points were awarded for the number of places. In the final bill, the worst placement was deleted. The ten sailors with the lowest number of points qualified for the medal race. The previous points have been retained, but the placement points for the medal race have been doubled.

The sailor concerned received 28 points for false starts (OCS = on course side) and termination of the race (DNF). Even with disqualifications (DSQ) the starter got 28 points. In addition, the jury was able to distribute penalty points (DPI = Discretionary Penalty Imposed) during the race.
