Catalog excerpts

concept The RS Quest is a 14’ 1” dinghy developed in conjunction with the Marine Society and Sea Cadets (MSSC) to provide the modern solution for sailing programmes in a variety of locations across the world. Features of the RS Quest include a selfdraining cockpit and a super-stable hull to give maximum security and safety. The feel of the boat is considerably bigger than its size with a large cockpit for up to four people, great for training and family sailing. The RS Quest has been designed for maximum strength in all high load areas of the deck and hull. The rig can be set up for both symmetric and asymmetric sailing – perfect for confined sailing locations and for conducting relevant spinnaker courses. The rig is a two-part aluminium mast, with a sealed top mast for buoyancy, aiding recovery and reducing inversion. To aid the rigging process the mast foot is on a pivot, making it easier and safer for one person to rig. Externally running halyards make for easier use and hassle free replacement as well as control lines on the boom - designed for simplicity. The square head main has buoyancy in the top of the sail drastically slowing down the time it takes to invert, taking into account the varied ability of its potential sailors. Simple reefing systems include slab reefing on the mainsail and roller reefing for the jib. The RS Quest draws on 20 years of rotomoulded design and development through designers Jo Richards and RS Sailing.
