Teach the kids, cruise around the bay or race with the exciting Pro rig. The Q’BA (pronounced "Cuba") can comfortably handle adults or youngsters; delivers family fun combined with incredibly easy handling; is quick to rig, simple to reef and requires virtually no maintenance.
RS Q’BA – you’re going to love it!
“...this recent newcomer from RS is a safe yet exciting all-rounder and is frankly several steps ahead of the competition". Yachting World magazine
Following the astonishing success of the other RS All Purpose Boats, the new RS Q’BA delivers class leading versatility, stability, space and handling.
"RS’s Q’BA seems to clearly line up against Laser’s Pico, the ubiquitous rotomoulded beginner boat for one adult or two children... The Q’BA provides a similar package, enhanced by better sailing performance, slicker features and a wider range of use, particularly if you add the optional Pro sail." Yachts and Yachting magazine

“Perhaps the best looking rotomoulded hull of its size around. The exceptional design detailing adds to an impressive package...A little honey, great sailing, exquisite detailing, robustness..." Yachting World magazine
“this was probably the best purchasing experience I have ever had. From start to finish your staff have given excellent service as well as being knowledgeable enthusiasts.”
Professor P A Witting
“You can look at pictures and check specifications all day long, but it’s when you sail a Q’BA and discover just how easy, responsive and exciting it really is – that’s when you’ll appreciate how a good a boat of this size can now be.”
Nick Peters – head of RS development team
