Celebrating 10 Years of the RS Quest: Versatility, Legacy, and Community

February 28, 2025

The RS Quest, a modern training dinghy trusted by sailors and training centres across the globe, has been a flagship in our Adventure Range for a decade. As we mark this staggering 10-year milestone in 2025, we can’t help but marvel at how quickly the time has passed! To celebrate, we’re launching a 10-part series that will highlight the versatility, legacy, and vibrant community that have made the RS Quest standout over the years. Stay tuned…

Versatility: A Boat for Every Sailor

Whether you’re a newbie to the sport, an intermediate looking to upskill, or a seasoned sailor wanting to take the family out on an adventure, there’s a strong chance that you’ve sailed an RS Quest at some point. Its incredible versatility is one of the main reasons it’s a best-selling boat. Training school? Check. Learn-to-sail hospitality event? Check. Family weekend sail with a picnic on the beach? Check. The RS Quest has you covered. This boat truly caters to all kinds of sailors, and in our upcoming posts, we’ll dive deeper into its features, top sailing tips, must-have accessories, and more.

Legacy: 10 Years of Impact

In the last decade, the RS Quest has made its mark in a variety of settings. We’ll shine a spotlight on the programs that have embraced the RS Quest, sharing inspiring stories and testimonials from sailors around the world. Plus, we’ll explore top holiday destinations where you can rent an RS Quest and feature accounts you’ll want to follow for sailing inspiration. The legacy of the RS Quest continues to grow, and we can’t wait to share these stories with you!

Community: Celebrating You

What makes RS boats truly stand out? The community, of course! To celebrate the incredible sailors who make the RS Quest what it is, we want to hear from YOU. Whether it was your first boat, a memorable adventure, or that perfect sunset shot, we invite you to send in your pictures, videos, and the accompanying stories.

Enter our competition for a chance to win some fantastic goodies from RS Sailing Store. There will be prizes for our top 5 entries, including the grand prize – a 35L RS Sailing Dry Bag and your photo featured on the front cover of our 2026 RS Sailing Wall Calendar!
