The Zim C420 has quickly become
the C420 of choice by yachts clubs,
community sailing programs and
individuals. One design sailors want
the strongest, lightest, most durable
boats and rigging available. We’ve met
this demand with proven construction
techniques and a race rigging package
that ensure performance, strength, and
durability. This durability has led to many
happy repeat customers. In addition, the
Zim C420 continues to prove itself on
the race course with victories at local,
regional, National, and North American
Championship regattas.
