The RS Quest provides a very stable environment for both youth and adults taking up sailing, as well as those wishing to move on to a more intermediate level, such as spinnaker handling. The RS Quest does all this very well in various wind conditions without becoming too much to handle. Instead, it keeps sailors engaged and does not overwhelm them while they are still gaining the confidence they need in the initial stages of experience afloat. The RS Quest is an ideal solution to sail training venues’ constant dilemma regarding which boat to choose for an entry-level multi-person teaching platform. I am excited by the RS Quest from its use in club-based and national sail training programmes worldwide.

Description
- The RS Quest has an exceptionally stable hull and large self-draining cockpit
- There is an optional fore deck for added storage and wave deflection
- With asymmetric and symmetrical spinnaker options, the RS Quest can be setup as the ultimate training platform to prepare for moving on to most any other sailboat.

- The RS Quest has a curved handle shaped gunwale for easy carrying and launching
- The 3 point landing tie downs and towing eyes are convenient and easily replaced
- Capsize recovery handles on outside of the RS Quest’s hull reduce dependency on the dagger board to help right the boat and make it easier for sailors to stay with the boat when flipped over
- A roller furling jib makes sail changes and dock or launch ramp approaches a breeze
- With a fixed fore stay the jib can be removed and the RS Quest sails very well balanced with just the main sail
- The boat has a two piece aluminum mast with a foam filled top section to prevent inversion
- Optional external or internal main halyard
- The RS Quest main and jib are made from heavy duty Dacron
- A friction based pivoting centerboard means no control lines and the board will automatically lift if run into anything in shallow water
- Durable aluminum rudder blade with tiller controlled lift & lock system
CONSTRUCTION
- 3 Layer rotomolded RS Comptec PE3 construction
- Tough outer skin, foam core for stiffness, strong inner skin
- Thickness added in high load areas which enables reduced overall weight

A boat with a BN of 1.6 or greater is a boat that will be reefed often in offshore cruising. Derek Harvey, "Multihulls for Cruising and Racing", International Marine, Camden, Maine, 1991, states that a BN of 1 is generally accepted as the dividing line between so-called slow and fast multihulls.
The RS Quest is a recreational sailing dinghy, with the hull built predominantly of rotomoulded Comptec PE3 polyethylene. It has a fractional sloop rig with aluminum spars and wire standing rigging. The hull has a nearly- plumb stem, a vertical transom, a transom-hung aluminum rudder controlled by a tiller and a retractable glassfibre centreboard.
