The Ynglinga saga or Ynglingesaga, was originally written in Old Norse by the Icelandic poet Snorri Sturluson about 1225 CE. He based it on an earlier Ynglingatal which is attributed to the Norwegian 10th century skald Tjodolf of Hvin, and which also appears in Historia Norwegiae. ...
The Yngling is designed to sail with two or three crew, with a combined weight of up to 225 kg (500 lb). Class rules require Ynglings with a full crew to have enough flotation to allow them to float even if filled with water.
The Yngling has a mainsail, a jib and a spinaker. Compared to the Laser (a much more common boatclass), it has a lot more trim and it rarely capsizes, making it a "friendly" boat. It got the ISAF International Class status in 1979, and was chosen as the Olympic Women's Keelboat for 2004 and 2008.
