Jake's top 3 reasons why the RS Quest is fantastic for learning to sail:
1. Jib - furling jib and ability to adjust the luff tension
2. Spars - halyard and lines are external, so easy to replace quickly
3. Handles in the hull - easy for righting the boat when you capsize
To find out more about the RS Quest - call our team on 01794 526760 or drop us a line on [email protected].

What makes the RS community so special? It's everything beyond the racecourse.
Spend five minutes in the dinghy park at any RS event and you’ll feel it - the buzz, the laughter, the easy camaraderie. Need a hand rigging? Someone’s already there. Looking for tips to squeeze out a bit more downwind speed? Just ask. Trolley stuck in the mud? It won’t be for long.
No matter where you sit in the fleet, the RS community has your back.
At RS Sailing, we build the boats. You bring them to life. And the RS Class Associations are here to welcome you every step of the way.

"We're Will and Alyssa Hatanaka. I'm 11 and my sister is 12. We love to sail RS boats! We know how to sail the Tera Sport and Pro, and also the Feva!
Yesterday we sailed in winds up to 28.7 knots peak. Our coach said that's like 33mph. We capsized and turtled a lot, but we didn't break any Teras. Those boats are tough!"
We love seeing your videos. Thanks for sharing this with us Will & Alyssa!
