The Championship rules of the Soling class specifies that continental championships shall be open to all Countries. The Europeans know two major trophies:
The deed's of gift of both trophies specifies that the prize will be handed to the annual winner of the European Champion. In the history of the European Championship there were earlier NON-European winners since the Open character of the event. In each case the trophies were handed out the winners of those Championships conform the deed's of gift.
Unfortunately the race committee made in 2012 the mistake to hand out the "Swedish Soling Association’s Perpetual Prize", as result of the fact that the deed of gift was lost, to the first European team. As result the names of Karl Haist, Martin Zeileis and Patrick Wichmann were engraved on the trophy. Later after scanning of the paper archive of former secretary Dinny Read the deed of gift emerged.After this incident a new trophy was introduced in case there is a NON-European, European Champion. This perpetual "Best European Team Trophy" will be handed out to the first ranked team where all team members have a European nationality based on the geological definition of Europe. Their names will be engraved on the backplane of this new trophy. Sofar (16 February 2022) this trophy is not used.
