The Yngling is a sailboat that was designed by Norwegian Jan Herman Linge as a one design racer and first built in 1967. [1] [2] [3]

Contents

The Yngling design is very similar to the larger 1966 Linge-designed Soling. [3]

Production

In the past the design was built by Abbott Boats in Canada, the O'Day Corp. and Jibetech in the United States as well as Petticrows in the United Kingdom. It remains in production at Børresen Bådebyggeri in Denmark and by Mader Bootswerft in Germany. [1] [3] [4] [5]

Design

Yngling

The Yngling is a racing keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig with aluminum spars. The hull has a spooned raked stem, a raised counter reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a swept fixed fin keel. It displaces 1,323 lb (600 kg) and carries 683 lb (310 kg) of lead ballast. [1] [3]

The boat has a draft of 3.44 ft (1.05 m) with the standard keel. [1]

The design has small cuddy cabin for stowage. [3]

For sailing the design is equipped with a 180 sq ft (17 m2) spinnaker, an end-boom mainsheet, foam buoyancy and sail windows for visibility. [3]

Operational history

The design is supported by a class club, the International Yngling Association, with national clubs in Austria, Belgium, Germany, Norway, Switzerland, Denmark, the Netherlands, Sweden, the United States and Australia. [6]

The Yngling received ISAF International status in 1979 and was chosen as the Olympic Women's Keelboat for the 2004 and the 2008 Summer Olympics. The Yngling was replaced by the Elliott 6m for the London 2012 Summer Olympics. [1] [3]

In a 1994 review Richard Sherwood wrote, "Jan Linge also designed the larger Soling, and the lines are very similar ... The Yngling is highly stable, with a beam-to-waterline ratio of .37 and with 50 percent of the weight in ballast. It is unsinkable, with foam-filled tanks. Sail area is not large, so that the boat may be sailed by younger sailors. While one-design rules are strict, every effort has been made to keep the cost of allowable modifications down." [3]
