Offered alongside the new boats are ISCA sails and parts, now fully available at ZimSailing.com and through Zim’s dealer network. Premium quality class-approved parts are compatible with older Sunfish® boats. The Zim ISCA is the only class-legal new boat for International Sunfish Class racing and Zim is thrilled to be providing boats for the ISCA World Championship.
The Zim ISCA honors the one-design nature of the International Sunfish Class, while also improving overall durability. Everything from hardware selection to construction methods was carefully considered for quality to ensure that a brand-new ISCA looks and feels just like a classic boat.
The boat has class-legal Harken Carbo blocks on the racing boom and a simple Harken linked traveler block to improve the 2:1 system’s longevity without altering performance characteristics. Brand new tooling and molds ensure every boat meets strict one-design standards, and the original foam blocks that provided structure and buoyancy have been upgraded and replaced with closed-cell foam technology that will not absorb water. North Sails are exclusively available for Zim ISCAs, and Kingfisher Ropes has developed Club and Race line packages.
The 2025 Zim ISCA features a white deck with navy blue stripes on aft deck and is available in three trim variants. The ISCA Race has a North racing mainsail, outhaul and cunningham, quick release gooseneck, lower racing boom with Harken blocks, and fiberglass blades. The ISCA Club includes your choice of colorful North mainsails and fiberglass blades, with a classic wood blade package available. Starting at $5,700, the Zim ISCA offers exceptional value for every sailor. Visit zimsailing.com/boats/isca/ to learn more. ■
