Soling

The Soling was designed as a day racer/sailer (without any compromising cruising accommodations) by Jan Linge and appeared as a national class in Norway in 1965. In 1968 after a series of trials the ISAF selected the Soling to be the Olympic 3-man keelboat for every Olympics since 1972 and for the Australian Olympics in the year 2000.
