RS Quest sailboat by RS Sailing

RS Quest 14′ 

 

Compact, simple, strong and stable

Versatile configuration for all programs

Large, self-draining cockpit for up to four people .

Unrivaled in this size, the 14’1″ dinghy developed in conjunction with Sea Cadets and several other community sailing programs offers maximum security and safety, great for training and family sailing.

 

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 or 4 adults.

Perfect for family daysailor  – small enough to easily handle afloat and ashore. The RS Quest is the modern solution for sailors who wish to update their older, antiquated dinghies.

This is the boat many sailing programs 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 Rotomolded design and development experience through designers Jo Richards and RS Sailing
