The Dutch were in most of the Olympic sailing competitions represented by the Dutch Olympic Sailing Team. The selection of the members of the team was done by the Koninklijk Nederlands Watersport Verbond (KNWV) or it's predecessor. With the exception of 1908 and 1912 there were always Dutch sailors willing to compete at this pinnacle of competitive sailing. Even in 1956 in Melbourne the Dutch team was willing and able to perform. However at the last possible moment the Dutch NOC and the Dutch government (together with Switzerland and Spain), ordered a boycott of these games. This boycott was a result of the presence in Hungary of the Soviet Union after the Hungarian Revolution. The KNWV was not in favor of this boycott.
Listed below is an overview of all Olympic games and events which the Dutch Olympic Sailing Team was selected for. The list includes all sailors, substitutes and when known, the officials that supported the team:

1952 Helsinki, Finland
- The sailors of the 1952 Dutch Olympic Sailing Team were accommodated by members of the local Finish Yacht Club. The club house of that club is a fortress over 200 years old. The Dutch boats were moored on an island called: Merenkävijät what can be loosely translated into pirates'. Also the Dutch Royal Yacht Piet Hein was moored at the island.
- The Dutch Olympic boats were transported over sea by the coaster Marvic
