The Soling is an Olympic, One Design, three-crew boat that caught on soon after it was designed.
The Soling is the training ground for young (and not so young) sailors who aspire to be great. The Class provides the world's best competition within which the least is able to race against and learn the skills of the greatest.
The Soling is currently sailed in over 40 countries.
