Zuma
Description
The Zuma is a lightweight, recreational one-person (or two-person) sailing dinghy/day sailor, often described as a more stable, forgiving alternative to the Sunfish or Laser for beginners, families, or casual sailing. It's a fiberglass cat-rigged boat with a simple, easy-to-rig setup—designed for fun on lakes, bays, or protected waters rather than high-performance racing.
