The United States has held the largest medal count in sailing at five Olympiads (1932, 1948, 1952, 1968, and 1984).  Great Britain is the only other country that boasts this acheivement, taking the largest sailing medal count in 2008 to even the score with the United States.  With both countries tied at the top of the leaderboard of Olympic Sailing history, the 2012 games present an opportunity for each country to assert their sailing dominance over the rest of the world.
