Mills and crew Saskia Clark are World Cup runners-up in the 470 class.
Mills' Olympic bid will begin on 2 August at the 2012 Games sailing venue at Weymouth near Mills' new home in Portland.
The women's 470 class medal race and victory ceremony is on 10 August where Mills, who was born and raised in Cardiff, hopes to go one better from the silver she won on that course in August's Olympic test event.
