Introducing the RS Zest, the RS Quest's little sister

by RS Sailing on 31 Aug 2017 The RS Zest is a brand new, compact boat that delivers more crew space and practical, enjoyable features than older generation rivals.

Class leading space for two sailors, yet small enough for the convenient singlehander. Instructors will love the practical design solutions engineered by our team.
