The Yngling World Championship is international sailing regatta in the Yngling (keelboat) class organized by the host club on behalf of International Yngling Class Association and recognized by the World Sailing.
The Yngling was used in the 2004 and 2008 Olympics games for the female keelboat discipline alongside the star as the male discipline. So from 2001 to 2008 the class hosted a female gender specific separate World Championship event. When this event was held in partnership with the open world championships the "open gender" category effectively became "male and mixed gender crews".
