Zim C420

The C420’s construction exemplifies attention to detail, including the use of strong resins, high-quality fiberglass matting and Plexus bonding adhesives; through-deck hardware is reinforced with tapped aluminum backing plates, and forged eyestraps that are threaded into an aluminum bar fitted under the rail.

Color choice - the Zim C420 is available with either brightly colored gelcoat racing stripes (black, red, dark cobalt blue, medium blue, light sky blue, sun yellow, orange, grass green, charcoal gray) or with Zim’s traditional gray deck. Likewise, high-performance, class-approved spinnakers are available in custom colors. Optional bow bumpers can take the brunt of most front end encounters and large bow numbers can be installed for fleet boats.
