Abbottboats Inc. of Sarnia, Ontario, Canada was one of the world's lead builders of the Soling until a tragic fire in the Spring of 2006. Nowadays, Borresen Yachts is the licensed builder producing the boat. Company based in Denmark with production in Argentina.

The Soling is a strong boat designed for any wind and seas condition, fun to sail. Fitness, sailing and team skills are basic requirements for good racing. The boats are made in fiberglass reinforced polyester and are One Design boats coming from an authorized single plug and mould, making competition as even as possible. Masts are made of aluminum alloy and the best known brand is Abbott, although Proctor, Borresen 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), but the average competition life of a Soling boat is considered 15 years making the Soling the perfect cost x benefit boat for racing purposes.

Sails are made of dacron and the most used brands are: Doyle, North Sails, Elvstrom-Sobstad, UK-Halsey
