Thanks for this video, it was super helpful! The mast float on a quest is a great option and really recommended for casual sailing. I love the RS Quest! Great little boat. Would love to see more RS Quest videos, simple basic lessons would be greatly appreciated - I'm headed to the CSC website next to see what is there! The tip about climbing up the inside of the boat, and over, to get on the dagger board is pure gold. If you are next to the daggerboard it is pretty hard to clamber up onto it (even with the handy handles that are designed into the hull. Thanks!

nice video thanks! If anybody has trouble getting in their boat from the water, a trick is to bounce yourself up and down in the water. On the third bounce your life jacket will pop you up right into the boat like a cork. Have fun!

Hi John, Thanks for the video. Wish I had watched it before my first sailing experience with a Quest. Have moved up to Bellingham, WA. If you are in the area, look me up. Bernard

I always use the jib sheet, but instead of pulling it against the stopper knot, I but it in reverse in the cleat and pull against the cleat.
