Yngling Class
About the Class: The Yngling was designed by Jan Linge in 1967. Linge duplicated his Soling design, making it smaller, more suitable for average-sized people, easier to trail (tow) and less expensive to own. The Yngling shares the Soling’s sleek hull form, well balanced rig and responsive helm. While the Yngling is not as fast as the Soling, it is quicker and more nimble. It turns more quickly and in less distance and responds better to crew weight trim adjustments. The Yngling is designed to sail with 3 crew. The optimal weight is 160-200kg, so the Yngling accommodates both juniors and average-sized adults, and it is the ideal women’s racing keelboat. The self-bailing cockpit is comfortable and does not normally require hand pumping, this feature allows you to concentrate on trimming and tactics. The boat is now unsinkable with all crew onboard. The International Yngling Class is supported by a strong International Association with almost 4000 boats worldwide. The Class is expected to grow further with it’s introduction as an Olympic class.
Australian Success: The 2004 Athens Olympic Games will be the first time that the Yngling class is contested. 2004 Olympic Representatives:
