A few of my favourite things...

Escape Sailboat

 

The Rumba sailboat is our top-of-the-line Escape. Combine 80 square feet of sail with a 21-foot SmartRig that allows you to instantly adjust the sail size, and you have arguably the most versatile high-performance small sailboat ever designed! Escape 12 owners love the combination of race boat performance and the ability to carry a passenger.

Length: 12'9" | Beam: 5' | Mast height: 21' | Weight: 150 lbs. | Capacity: 550 lbs. | Color: White

 

FEATURES:
Autosail
Just match the colors to sail! The Windicator literally shows you the wind, where you can sail versus the wind, and how to trim your sail. Beneath the Windicator's pointer is a colored pie chart. Colored zones indicate safe sailing. The Stop Zone is for stopping and the Duck Zone is for (yep, you guessed it) ducking your head. Beneath the sail is an arrow and pie chart. Simply steer the boat and trim the sail to bring the sail arrow to the same color on the pie chart that the Windicator points to on its pie chart. It is as easy as it sounds!

Stableform
Escape's unique boat shape, Stableform, makes the Escape up to 3 times (300%) less likely to tip than a traditional sailboat. Traditional boats are shaped more like a tea cup. Sit on the rim, and the tea cup will tip over. The Stableform design is just the opposite. The widest part of the boat is in the water, allowing your body to remain in the boat's footprint no matter where you sit. Plus, the front of the boat is hydrodynamically designed to slice the water. As the Escape moves, the shape pushes the water underneath, instead of around the boat. As a result, Escapes actively resist tipping.

Polyethylene Construction
Escapes are made in one piece so there's no seam to split. The polyethylene material can withstand much more punishment than older fiberglass hull technologies.

OTHER STANDARD FEATURES INCLUDE:
• Self-draining cockpits, drink holders, mast steps
• Mast and boom securely lock into the boat during use
• Two piece masts
