RS Quest

Big thrills in a compact boat

• Hull rotomoulded in Comptec PE3 polyethylene.
• Designed to withstand daily sailing-school use with very little maintenance.
• No other boat of this length offers such a stable hull, and for the beginner that translates into confidence.
• Up to four adults fit in the cockpit, which is also self-draining.

Configurable to suit you

• Two configurations: fully open-plan cockpit, or with a foredeck that deflects the spray.
• Both the seats and the centre thwart can be removed.
• Basic mainsail and jib sail plan (8.4 m² and 2.7 m²).
• As an option, a symmetric spinnaker (10 m²) or an asymmetric/gennaker (11 m²).
• Optional trapeze kit.
• Optional outboard bracket.

Adventures on the water

A boat that brings together what a family needs to go sailing and exploring.

Fun and lively, but also practical and encouraging for anyone learning.

It tows on a trailer without fuss and rigs quickly.

Excellent for training

• The British Sea Cadets and sail-training experts took part in the boat's development.
• Exceptionally practical and versatile: it works for the beginners' lesson and for the family outing.
• It is the best-selling sailing-school boat of its size in the world.

Convenient ashore and afloat

• Stepping the mast is easier thanks to the hinged mast foot.
• Handles for lifting and moving it comfortably.
• Towing eyes.
• Lifting points.
• Ashore it rests on three keel bands, a three-point support that keeps it stable when beached.
• Reinforced rubbing strake around the transom.

Easy rig control

• Furling jib, which makes launching and recovering the boat safer and more comfortable.
• The mainsail has a reef band to shorten sail when the wind gets up.
• Two-piece aluminium mast.
• The top mast section is foam-filled: if the boat capsizes, it is harder for it to turn fully turtle, mast down.
• Halyards and boom controls run externally, in view, so maintenance is simpler.
• The sails are cut in Dacron, a cloth designed to withstand many hours of use.

Easy-to-use foils

• GRP pivoting centreboard.
• The rudder blade is aluminium, built to take the heavy use of a sailing school.
• Rudder with Lift & Lock system: the blade is raised using the tiller and locks in place.
