WHAT THE SAILORS ARE SAYING…
The RS Quest provides a very stable environment for both youth and adults taking up sailing, as well as those wishing to move on to a more intermediate level, such as spinnaker handling. The RS Quest does all this very well in various wind conditions without becoming too much to handle. Instead, it keeps sailors engaged and does not overwhelm them while they are still gaining the confidence they need in the initial stages of experience afloat. The RS Quest is an ideal solution to sail training venues’ constant dilemma regarding which boat to choose for an entry-level multi-person teaching platform. I am excited by the RS Quest from its use in club-based and national sail training programmes worldwide.
The RS Quest is just a fantastic workhorse across our club and high school programs and a ton of fun to boot!! It is reliable, tough and effective – the ‘Ute’ of our activities!”
