 read 2006 Zoom 8 World Championship Report

It's popularity has made the ZOOM8
the fastest growing youth sailing
class in Europe


ZOOM8 opens a new chapter in youth sailing. As safe for the beginners as it is challenging for the experienced, it fulfils every youngsters dream.

 ZOOM8 is delivered completely equipped. As no changes are allowed, all sailors have an equal chance on the course.

As the international one design rules forbid any kind of additional equipment. This is a big advantage for both the sailor's and the parents' wallet!

 Developed by Sailors
A group of enthusiastic young dinghy sailors, bored with their old fleet, were given the opportunity to list their ideas for a new and modern dinghy.

 The ZOOM8 is an excellent boat for young beginners; safety is our number one priority combining that with racing speed is the ZOOM8

 The precisely designed ZOOM8 is a competitive International class recognised by ISAF, it is well known in Europe as ‘The Olympic stepping stone’ the move from the Optimist to the Laser.

 The All-Round Dinghy
The beam and buoyancy make it possible to sail ZOOM8 together with an adult without losing its good sailing performance. The double skin hull with built-in 150 safety-buoyancy bags makes it unsinkable. Zoom8 is easy to rig and handle without prior experience -- a real family boat.

According to the class rules, 2 man racing is allowed, so bring a friend aboard and race!

Easy to Store and Transport
With its 37 kg hull weight Zoom8 travels easily on a car roof-top.
A custom designed beach trailer and special hull colours are both optional.

With safety in mind the ZOOM8 has been designed to reducing “turtling" when capsizing. The Sail and rig usually floats and if capsized the Zoom8 remains floating on its side.

This feature guaranties more safety than other dinghies of the same size. If capsized only a small amount of water will be caught onboard. This can then be automatically emptied through the self -bailer.

Combined with the smooth and fast hull lines Zoom8 offers more enjoyment, more fun and far more speed than its competitors.
Best of all is the very reasonable price for this extremely high-class dinghy.
