Overview
Description
The RS Quest is a modern family or training dinghy with features that move the game forward. It is big enough for an instructor and 2 or 3 pupils - perfect for parents with youngsters - yet small enough to handle easily ashore and afloat. Inspired by the UK Sea Cadets to replace their aging fleet, the RS Quest has rapidly become the best-selling dinghy of its type worldwide. It features durable rotomoulded polyethylene construction providing exceptional strength and minimal maintenance. The boat offers unrivalled stability and space, with configurations including reefing, spinnaker options, and ample storage.
Key features include:
- RS Comptec PE3 rotomoulded polyethylene hull construction designed for maximum strength and minimal maintenance
- Exceptionally stable hull, with a large, self-draining cockpit comfortable for up to 4 adults
- Configurable options such as open plan or spray shedding foredeck, removable seats and thwart, main and jib sails, asymmetric or symmetric spinnaker, trapeze, and outboard motor bracket
- Convenient ashore and afloat with pivoting mast heel, hand holds, towing eyes, lifting points, 3-point landing on bilge rails, and reinforced rub rail near the transom
- Easy rig control including jib furler, mainsail slab reefing, 2-part aluminium mast, external halyards and boom controls, and durable Dacron sails
- User-friendly foils with pivoting centreboard and durable aluminium rudder blade featuring a tiller-driven lift and lock system
The RS Quest is an excellent choice for family sailing, adventure, exploration, and especially for training excellence, developed in conjunction with UK Sea Cadets and training experts. It is renowned for its practicality, range of use, and reliability in various wind conditions, making it an ideal entry-level multi-person teaching platform.
