1968 Soling Endura C2 "Easy" needs a little TLC but she's full of potential!A Soling is a class of open keelboat designed by Jan Linge of Norway in 1965. In 1968, it was chosen from among many other boats to be the men's triple-handed boat for the 1972 Olympics The Soling remained an Olympic boat until its final Olympic appearance at the 2000 Olympics.The Soling is a strong boat designed for any wind and sea conditions and is fun to sail. Fitness, sailing and team skills are basic requirements for good racing. The boats are made of fiberglass reinforced polyester and are one-design boats coming from an authorized single plug and mold, making competition as even as possible. Masts are made of aluminium alloy and the best known brand is Abbott, although Proctor, Børresens Bådebyggeri and other brands might be available in the market.The lifetime of a Soling is long. Those produced in the early days still sail beautifully and some are still in competition (more than 30 years after being built). The average competition life of a Soling boat is considered 15 years making the Soling a perfect cost / benefit boat for racing purposes.This one comes with 2 Spinnakers, 3 Jibs, and 1 Main sail. A trailer (pictured) is included, along with safety equipment and a 50lb thrust trolling motor.
