ASI
The newest addition to our fleet, the Zest sailboat is taught using a mainsail only and can be sailed by one person (single-handed.) It is the easiest to rig and sail, and compared to the Quest, it is more stable and easier to recover from a capsize. The Zest is 12 feet long, 5 feet wide and weighs 160 pounds. It is our best option for practicing basic skills and sailing solo if you do not have a partner. However, it will easily accommodate an adult and a child or two average-sized adults.
