Any opinions on the Zuma sailboat manufactured by Vanguard.
One of Vanguards best boats... IMHO it is by far their best boat, but most of
the rest of them I wouldn't accept as a gift.
I want something
I car car top that will still sail ok.
If you get a good sail, add some real blocks & beef up the cheesy plywood
daggerboard & rudder, it will sail better than OK.

A Zuma is an ok boat, by why not get a laser? Then you can race.
The Zuma is a LOT less tiddly & quirky than the Laser, and the cockpit is much
much more comfortable. Can carry 2 people better and IIRC it's lighter.
If your serious about a small open transom dinghy, also check out the Xcite.
It's plastic so it will stand up to abuse a little better (won't shatter
when it falls off the car).
I would really like to try the Excite, it looks like a very sensible boat.
