Description

You have probably heard us say ‘Zest is Best’, and we mean it. Packed with a kick up centerboard and rudder, furling mainsail, and an optional jib- all put together with a nearly indestructible rotomolded hull the Zest quickly became a bestseller around the world for all it offers.

The RS Zest has become a staple to sailing programs and families the world over since its initial launch in 2018. Ideal for yacht clubs with learn to sail programs, community sailing centers, and families looking for something super simple but still lively and fun. With a large open cockpit, suitable for one or two young sailors, the Zest builds confidence and allows kids the opportunity to to work their way up from inside the boat to hiking on the rail. Zest also comes equipped with an innovative mast step that makes stepping the rig easy, the mast will lock into place and stay secure even in the event of a capsize. This virtually maintenance free boat has the fantastic modern design the dinghy category has been needing- the Zest engages young sailors and is a perfect addition to any fleet or family looking for their next boat.
