The RS Quest is a British sailboat that was designed by Jo Richards as a sail trainer and day sailer. It was first built in 2015.[1][2][3][4]

Production

The design has been built by RS Sailing in the United Kingdom, since September 2015 and remains in production.[1][2][5][6][7]

Design

The boat was designed for the British Sea Cadets to replace their existing fleet of older boats and also as a family day sailer.[2]

The RS Quest is a recreational sailing dinghy, with the hull built predominantly of rotomoulded Comptec PE3 polyethylene. It has a fractional sloop rig with aluminum spars and wire standing rigging. The hull has a nearly-plumb stem, a vertical transom, a transom-hung aluminum rudder controlled by a tiller and a retractable glassfibre centreboard. It displaces 309 lb (140 kg) and can carry 805 lb (365 kg) of crew weight or four adults.[1][2][3]

The boat has a draft of 3.57 ft (1.09 m) with the centreboard extended. Retracting the centreboard allows operation in shallow water, beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.[8]

The boat may be optionally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering. The maximum power is 3.35 hp (2 kW) and maximum motor weight is 33 lb (15 kg).[8]

Optional equipment includes a polyethylene foredeck, trapeze, an outboard motor mount, a launching dolly and a boat trailer for ground transport.[2]

For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with an optional symmetrical spinnaker of 107 sq ft (9.9 m2) or an asymmetrical spinnaker of 118 sq ft (11.0 m2).[1][2]

The boat's hull is 100% recyclable and the box it is shipped in is 100% recyclable material, made from 100% managed woodland materials, with a high percentage of previously recycled material. The hull wrapping material is biologically-based, made from 51% sugar cane waste, officially classified in the UK as paper and is also 100% recyclable.[8]
