The Yngling is a sailboat that was designed by Norwegian Jan Herman Linge as a one design racer and first built in 1967.
The Yngling design is very similar to the larger 1966 Linge-designed Soling.

The Yngling is a racing keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig with aluminium 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 and carries of lead ballast.
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.
