Instructors will love the practical design solutions engineered by our team, like the high boom, centerboard, kick-up rudder and comfy thwart. Rotomolded polyethylene construction makes the RS Zest almost maintenance free – this is a boat to get you onto the water and into the wonderful world of sailing – no hassle – no end to the fun.
