2005 Escape Sailboat Company Escape 12

Selling my 2005 Escape 12 Sailing Dinghy that is in like new condition, and has spent most of its life sitting on a rack in my heated garage wrapped in bubble wrap. I am only selling her because I have several other sailboats that keep me busy as of late.

The Escape 12 sailing dinghy Formerly the Escape Rumba, the Escape 12 dinghy has been redesigned to be easier than ever. The Escape 12 features the SmartRig sailplan with roller reefing on the mast. This feature is usually found only in much larger boats, but Escape has found a way to incorporate it into a boat under 13 feet long. When you want to deploy the sail, simply pull the outhaul line and the sail unrolls. To stow the sail, pull on the furling line and the sail easily rolls up on the mast again. This also means the sail is easily adjusted to any size necessary for wind conditions. If its really blowing, reduce sail area. If the wind is light, pull it out all the way. The sail sleeves over the light weight aluminum mast eliminating the need for halyards, and is controlled by a single mainsheet. All in all, its no wonder the Escape 12 sailing dinghy is considered one of roomiest and most user friendly boats in its class. The hull of the Escape 12 is rotomolded polyethylene instead of fiberglass which allows for durable, lightweight, and high-quality construction. This translates to an affordable boat that can take the punishment of beach sailing, groundings, or being dragged along the shore. Like the Rumba, the 12 incorporates Escapes Stableform Hull design making it 3X less likely to capsize than a traditional sailboat. The boat is designed to provide positive buoyancy when awash, even with the interiors flooded. Most boats in the size range have daggerboards. They are great for sailing, but can be a real stick in the mud if you accidently get into the shallows. Instead, the 12 has a swing up centerboard tensioned with a shock cord. If you happen

Equipment: Hull, kick-up rudder, kick-up center board two hiking straps, Ronstan tiller exstention, boom, mast, self-furling main sail, harken blocks, and all new lines.
