The RS Zest is a brand new, compact boat that delivers more crew space and practical, enjoyable features than older generation rivals.

Class leading space for two sailors, yet small enough for the convenient singlehander. Instructors will love the practical design solutions engineered by our team.

RS Zest Features:

  • Cockpit space for both single and double handed use
  • Stable hull
  • Hinging mast step system for ease and greater safety
  • Clunk-Click mast gate lock
  • Lock-Up & Lock-Down rudder system with Kick-Up grounding
  • Pivoting Centreboard instead of daggerboard
  • Roller furling main for easy reefing
  • Built in tow points
  • High boom
  • Lowest maintenance, greatest durability
Keep an eye on our social media for previews in the run up to the launch.

Launching at the Southampton Boat Show this year, come and check it out on the stand (E045) and on the water.
