The International Soling Association (ISA) is the governing body for the Soling class, recognised as an international class by World Sailing. [1] The International Soling Association was founded as soon as the Soling became an international class in 1967. Originally an owners' club, it became a very self-supporting organization who provided great support for the whole Soling community and guarded the Soling one-design during her Olympic tour of duty as well as in the present time.
