The RS Zest represents a modern evolution in the entry-level dinghy market, designed specifically to address the limitations of aging rotomoulded trainers like the Laser Pico. Launched in 2017, the Zest was engineered by the internal design team at RS Sailing to maximize durability and stability while providing enough cockpit volume to accommodate a wide range of crew configurations. Constructed from Comptec PE3 triple-layer rotomoulded polyethylene, the hull is nearly indestructible, making it a staple for sailing schools, resort fleets, and families who require a "no-maintenance" vessel. Its design philosophy centers on accessibility, featuring a clutter-free cockpit and a highly stable hull form that encourages confidence in novice sailors.
