1. Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your new RS Zest and thank you for choosing an RS
product. We are confident that you will have many hours of great sailing and racing in
this truly excellent design.
The RS Zest is an exciting boat to sail and offers fantastic performance. This manual
has been compiled to help you to gain the maximum enjoyment from your RS Zest, in a
safe manner. It contains details of the craft, the equipment supplied or fitted, its systems,
and information on its safe operation and maintenance. Please read this manual
carefully and be sure that you understand its contents before using your RS Zest.
This manual will not instruct you in boating safety or seamanship. If this is your first
boat, or if you are changing to a type of craft that you are not familiar with, for your own
safety and comfort, please ensure that you have adequate experience before assuming
command of the craft. If you are unsure, RS, your RS dealer, or your national sailing
federation – for example, the Royal Yachting Association – will be able to advise you of a
local sailing school, or a competent instructor.
Please keep this manual in a secure place and hand it over to the new owner if
you sell the boat.
