History

Jan Herman Linge designed the Yngling in 1967 by shrinking his own Soling design into a smaller, lighter and less expensive boat that was easier to trail and crew. It earned ISAF International status in 1979 and was the Olympic women's keelboat for the 2004 and 2008 Games before the Elliott 6m took over.

Sailing Characteristics

Light displacement and a simple rig make the Yngling easy to handle with two or three crew, while still offering enough performance for serious fleet racing. It suits sailors moving up from dinghies as well as experienced keelboat racers.

Racing Context

The International Yngling Association runs national and world championships, with active fleets across Europe, Australia and North America.
