Former Olympic Class

A Soling is a small class of keelboat designed by Jan Linge of Norway in 1965. In 1968, it was chosen among many other boats to be the men's triple-handed boat for the 1972 Olympics. The Soling was an Olympic boat until its final appearance in 2000 at the Sydney Games.

Abbottboats Inc. of Sarnia, Ontario, Canada was one of the world's lead builders of the Soling until a tragic fire in the Spring of 2006.
