Seller's Description

The RS Zest is a compact boat that delivers more crew space and practical, enjoyable features than older generation rivals. The RS Zest is a hit with training centers and families. Class leading space for two sailors, yet small enough for convenient single-handing.

Instructors will love the practical design solutions engineered by the RS team. When operating in shallow tidal waters, a daggerboard makes it very difficult to run sessions during large parts of the day. With the centerboard on the RS Zest you can sail for longer as you are not as limited by the state of the tide. 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.

Equipment: Dolly Included

The RS Zest new with trailer costs over $7,000

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

  • SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Optional jib: 1.1 m² / 12.5 ft² Max crew weight: 225 kg / 496 lbs.

Why is the RS Zest the right sailboat for you?

The RS Zest is the most recent design from RS Sailing. A modern “feature-packed” sailboat that was designed to be a drastic improvement on decades old designs similar in size. Designer Jo Richards who also designed the Laser Pico saw an opportunity to take all of his previous experience to deliver the ultimate design that checks off all the boxes. Recreational sailors and sailing programs were looking for stability, reliability, durability, capacity, and affordability. The RS Zest delivers all of the above.

The durable rotomoulded polyethylene construction, versatility, and reassuring stability makes the RS Zest the perfect platform for inspiring confidence while maintaining excitement to enjoy every moment on the water. No matter what type of sailor you are, the RS Zest is right for you.

Single-handing For all the mothers, fathers, teenagers, or any sailor just looking to blast around by themselves, the RS Zest is ideal to single hand. The sails can be adjusted for any wind strength by easily reefing the mainsail around the mast to using the jib when more horsepower is needed. 2020 is the year of the singlehander, don’t miss out!

Families The RS Zest is focused on offering an easy approach to sailing that will ensure a good time had by all in order to keep the whole family excited about going sailing every time. Able to fit an adult couple or an adult with multiple children, the wide ergonomic cockpit throughout the boat is particularly suited for all sailors to be comfortable whether sitting on the side of the hull or the forward-facing bench to make even the most timid sailor feel at ease. The buoyant stable bow was even designed to carry a full sized sailor.

Sailing Programs The RS Zest can be defined as the “Ultimate Program boat” from learn to sail, camp sailing, even adult sailing, this boat achieves the mission of any institution looking for a go-to boat. Thousands are being used throughout the world for this purpose and the versatility which fills so many different niches is simply amazing. The on the water stability offers a sense of comfort while the boat still performs for more advance sailors. The hull remains stable on land to simplify storage and even be utilized for land drills.

Super Yacht Toy For those fortunate enough to enjoy the finer things in life, the RS Zest has been a choice boat for Super Yachts as a toy for guests or even a tender due to it’s optimal rowing from the bench with the rowing kit option. Easy to manage on and off the water, this is a reliable and smart option.

The term “feature-packed” is used often when describing the RS Zest. What exactly does that mean? It refers to the many innovative modern design features which make for a more enjoyable sailing experience and simpler routine once back on shore.

This term is used when it’s too much to list all the features, but since now we’ve got you excited, here is a list of all the major RS Zest features:

  • Simple “Clunk & Click” mast gate
  • Replaecable, self flushing mast step

RS Zest Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does the furling work on the Zest, and how does that compare to other boats in its class?

A: Furling on the Zest is super easy. Unclip the vang, easy the outhaul and twist the mast once, twice, three times or as much as you need for the wind and sailor experience levels. Then tension the outhaul, clip the vang back on and off you go. It's one of the easiest furling boats we sell.

Q: The boat has a jib, should I get it?

A: The Zest jib is very popular, but it's also not mandatory here. It's fairly small sized. We suggest if you will sail with a second person, definitely get the jib. If you will be sailing by yourself mostly, and you want a bit more to do. Get it. If you want the ultimate in lazy sailing days - skip it.

Q: This boat has a centerboard, where most other boats this size do not. That seems smart, is it?

A: This is one of the defining features of the boat compared to others like it. Sail right onto a beach, pull it onto a dock or hit something in the water - and the board kicks right back.

Q: Does the boat sit flat on a dock or beach?

A: It does, so, getting into it and out of on the beach or a a dock is really confidence inspiring.

Q: Is it easy for kids to right after a capsize?

A: The Zest has a lot of safety features, including built in grab handles on the underside of the boat. Kids should always be supervised when sailing a new boat the first number of times, but, in general, the Zest is quite easy to flip back over after a capsize.
