Soling Australian Championship

The Soling Australian Championship is an International sailing regatta in the Soling organized by the International Soling Association under auspiciën of World Sailing.[1] The initiative for this event was taken, inspired by the success of the Soling European Championship, in 1969 to promote Soling sailing in the Southern Hemisphere.
