Introducing the NEW Zim Dealer Portal:

The new portal provides easy access to our entire product catalog and easier ability to search and quickly find what you need.

Benefits of a Dealer Only site:

The New Zim Sailing Dealer Portal is here:  ZimSailingDealer.com ← check it out!

**Note: The site is not password protected to view, but only a dealer with a login can you see pricing. The site is set to not be ‘indexed’ by search engines, so we don’t anticipate the general public ever seeing it. This is a site for dealers only, and is setup to only allow Zim dealers to use it.

As of June 2nd, all online Dealer orders should be placed at ZimSailingDealer.com

**Note: As of June 1, we disabled the dealer logins for the existing dealer site.

Next Steps: You should have received an individual email with your dealer log in credentials on Monday, June 2nd. Included in this communication is the email address we have configured for the dealer site (same one you are using today), a temporary password, and a guide on how to use the new dealer portal.

If you did not receive a log in, please give us a call to get set up. (401) 237-6117

We are excited to offer you a much more comprehensive, easy to use and dedicated website for all your Dealer needs!

Zim ISCA (International Sunfish Class Association™ Update

Deliveries Have Begun!

Boats are being manufactured at a steady pace and have started shipping within our ISCA dealer network. If you are interested in stocking ISCA's, we have boats still available for summer orders and deliveries.

We have been receiving positive feedback on the boats recently received by some of our vendors, describing them as exceptionally well put together.

We take steps to carefully prepare our boats for shipment, with rig packs and clear labeling of everything to make receiving on your end go as smoothly as possible.

Zim ILCA Update

ILCA on ZimSailing.com

The Zim ILCAs Performed at Atlantic Coast Champs

The new Zim-built ILCAs performed exceptionally well at the ILCA Atlantic Coast Championships in Annapolis, MD last month. This success is a strong reflection of the manufacturing quality and attention to detail we’re pouring into these boats.

Will Rucker won the ILCA 7 fleet sailing in a Zim-built boat and we also had several more top-ten finishes in the ILCA 4 fleet, including 2nd, 5th, and 6th place.

Zim is committed to providing exceptional racing boats, and these standings prove our efforts are paying off for the new Zim ILCA. Sailors are excelling, having fun, and providing excellent feedback.

The Best-priced Performance ILCA on the Market 

It was with careful consideration that we priced the Zim ILCA in a manner that protects margin for our dealers. There is no other performance ILCA on the market that will live up to this combination of build quality, reliable service, support, and price.
