Zim Sailing is proud to partner with Fighter as the North American distributer. Our team visited over a dozen factories around the globe from ’21 and ’22 and found that the craftmanship and hands on attention to every detail by Sławomir Baranowski was second to none. Baranowski has been a world-renowned boat builder constructing top quality dinghies since 2002.
Each of his Optimist models (Blue Blue, then Blue Magic and the last Blue2) have won prime regattas and titles to include National Championships, Continental Championships along with team and individual World Championships.
Since their launch, Fighter Optimists have successfully won many events in Europe, and have become the boat of choice for the Polish National Team.
