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.

Cockpit space for both single and double handed use
Stable hull
Hinging mast step system for ease and greater safety
Clunk-Click mast gate lock
Lock-Up and Lock-Down rudder system with Kick-Up grounding
Pivoting Centreboard instead of daggerboard
