The International Soling Association (ISA) is the governing body for the Soling class, recognised as an international class by World Sailing. 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.
The object of the ISA is to promote the Soling class throughout the world, to coâÂÂordinate competition under uniform rules, and to maintain the integrity of the oneâÂÂdesign nature of the class in coâÂÂoperation with World Sailing and the national soling associations (NSAs).
The operation of the ISA is in the hands of the ISA committee and is lay down within a set of rules.
