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.
Object
[edit | edit source]The object of the ISA is to promote the Soling class throughout the world, to co‐ordinate competition under uniform rules, and to maintain the integrity of the one‐design nature of the class in co‐operation with World Sailing and the national soling associations (NSAs).[2]
