A fast, exciting, asymmetric-rigged skiff, the Zzap is just 3.6m long and weighs less than a Laser. Linear foam sandwich construction means that it is immensely strong and stiff. Prototypes have been fully tested in the rugged waters of the Irish sea. Targeted at sailors around 65kg, the Zzap is highly manageable and easily righted following capsizes. Strict one-design is assured by the use of moulds from a single plug and a tight building specification based on Optimist experience.
All fittings use precisely located built in backing plates.
Builders are being licensed in different geographical areas to ensure that in most cases the Zzap can bought locally.
