In 1978 we hope to be able to publish for the first time a Soling Book, containing all information and articles about our class of more permanent interest, that can serve as a handbook for all yachtmen interested in our Class for a period of 3 to 4 years. At the same time, we propose to publish a supplement con taining all information that is subject to annual revision and which will be published and distributed every year together with the Spring Issue of Soling Sailing. When the life-time of a successful one-design international class is es timated to be a possible 30 to 35 years the 10th anniversary may be considered to mark the end of the adolescence-period. In this period the fine original design of Jan L inge was further developed- under a strict control to maintain the one-design character - to the perfect three men keelboat that it is to-day: perfect for racing at the top-level of yachting, at the same time suitable for local racing on club-level, also very good to be used for training in sailing schools and by many yachtsmen accepted and used for day-touring on all kinds of navigable waters! For the first as well for the last mentioned purpose it has moreover the important advantage that it can be trailed easily with a normal family-car. All these favourable properties have no doubt contributed to the unanimous vote of the IYRU Permanent Committee to adopt our Class again as one of the six Olympic classes in 1980. This is providing a sound basis for the expectation that such a decision can be repeated many more times I In the period that we have now begun your Committee will not support any drastic technical deve lopments that will endanger the one-design concept and the acceptance of which has created con siderable problems in other classes. We shall concentrate our endeavours on further improvements and strengthening of our Class-or ganization because we believe that many more yachtsmen in all yachting countries around the world could enjoy the thrill of sailing a Soling and can find new friendships in the friendly atmos phere of our Class Association. /~~ I. ...-- -· , Geert Bakker President 5 ~~~------------------~ II\A International SOLING Association Flag, white and light blue THE INTERNATIONAL BDLING ABBCICIATION CCMMI I I EE& ~977 Honorary Member of t he Committee: His Majesty King Konstantin Life Members The Technical Committee Eggert Benzon, Denmark Maurice Rattray Jr., U.S.A., Chairman Finn Chr.
