“Zim Sailing is thrilled to take up this exciting opportunity to bring production of a classic sailboat back to Rhode Island. Countless sailors began their sailing careers with an ISCA®, whether that was at the beach with their family or learning to race for the first time, and we’re excited to be a part of that experience for people. Our team is extremely excited and are already working hard to hit the ground running. We look forward to supporting the thousands of sailors already sailing ISCA® boats, and long term being good stewards of this historic class.” - George Yioulos, Zim Sailing CEO
The team at Zim Sailing is already hard at work preparing for 2025 and beyond. This includes preparing molds for production, ordering parts, and reenergizing the entire supply chain. They expect to start producing boats in early 2025. Following the approval of the test boats by ISCA and World Sailing, full production should begin in time to have boats at dealers by the summer of 2025. Zim will ensure a plentiful supply of spare and replacement parts produced to strict one-design standards. While pricing is not finalized, it is expected that prices will be similar to current. Zim will support the class by providing charter boats at the annual World Championship and other events.
”The International Sunfish Class Association™, at its recent World Council meeting held in Heath, TX - USA, approved Zim as the manufacturer of the ISCA® Boat, and we are very happy to have a manufacturer like Zim as a new class builder. They will be producing a top-quality boat that will be competitive with our existing class-approved boats, which will help accelerate the class’ current growth. And with manufacturing in the US, distribution to our core markets of North, Central and South American will be simpler, faster and more efficient.” – Guillermo “Willo” Cappelleti, ISCA® President
ISCA® and Zim are looking forward to a great working relationship. Zim will support the class by providing charter boats at the North Americans, Worlds, and other events. There will also be a certification fee paid on boats and equipment, which will be used to help grow the class.
