The Zim 15, built by Zim Sailing, is a performance dinghy designed for post-collegiate sailors looking for inexpensive but exciting sailing. The boat has lots of go-fast features like a dangly pole, over-the-boom vang, sails by North Sails and rig by Southern Spars. The rig is designed to bend off in heavy air. The centerboard can be partly raised like a daggerboard allowing for faster off-the-wind speed while maintaining control. The boat is built with a resin infusion process that produces consistent hulls, which, along with bow and corner bumpers, makes the Zim 15 a desirable club boat.
