The designation **Recognized Class** may be granted by the [International Sailing Federation](/source/International_Sailing_Federation) (ISAF) to classes of [sailboats](/source/Sailboat) that offer a high standard of international competitive sailing and satisfy a number of criteria regarding the number of boats of that class, their international distribution, and the rules, administration and operation of that class's Class Association.

The designation [International Class](/source/International_Class) may be granted to a class of sail boat that is more widely distributed and numerous than a Recognized Class.
