Yngling class

The Yngling class is a type of sailing boat used for competitive racing, known for its agility and technical design. It’s a small keelboat, typically around 19 feet long, with two or three crew members working together to sail it efficiently. The Yngling emphasizes skillful maneuvering, teamwork, and understanding wind and weather conditions. Introduced as an Olympic class in the early 2000s, it’s valued for its responsive handling and ability to challenge sailors across a range of weather conditions, making it popular among both competitive racers and sailing enthusiasts.
