Research 2015 - RS Sailing - RS Quest

The RS Quest development process is well advanced and this compact yet spacious, stable and rewarding all-rounder will be in production in September 2015.

The RS Quest sits between the RS Feva and RS Vision in our range and responds to the need for a modern dinghy of this size – big enough for an instructor and 2 or 3 pupils – perfect for Mum or Dad and youngsters – small enough to easily handle afloat and ashore. Inspired by the Sea Cadets who wish to update their older dinghies, this is the boat many sailing programmes around the world want – and it is packed with innovative features to create a uniquely configurable boat to suit individual needs, with the ability to grow the sailor.

The RS Quest draws on 20 years of rotomoulding design and development experience through designers Jo Richards and RS Sailing.
