The Yngling is a sailing yacht that was built in 1967 by the Norwegian Jan Herman Linge to complement the Olympic sailing yacht Soling .
History and design
The name is not derived from the Norwegian-Swedish royal dynasty of the Ynglingers , but from the Norwegian word for youth - Linge designed the boat for his son, who was then a teenager.
The Yngling and its crew cannot sink. For unsinkable buoyancy provide the stern and bow . The new boats have been built with double floors and self-bailers since 1991, which ensures additional safety.
Thanks to the strict class rules ( one-design ) regulated uniformity of shell, rig and sails which by the ISAF to be monitored was a battle of material can be prevented. At world championships, new and old boats can be found in the forefront. The world champion of the year 2000 sailed with a ship built in 1971.
The Yngling can be easily tracked with a mid- range car .
The ship can be steered safely and easily by two people , even under spinnaker . For international competitions, the class rules prescribe a three-person crew.
