For sale is a lightly used Escape Rumba. This terrific light and small sailboat is no longer produced and difficult to find used. The polyethylene hull is extensively used in kayak construction and is light, durable and easy to repair.

Both the clear Sail and the rudder/tiller are the upgraded higher end versions and this boat package was over $3,000 new.

Sail, mast boom and rudder always stored indoors. Hull is in very nice condition with no gouges or major scrapes. It shows this boat has not seen much use.

Original owners manual included. No trailer available, but at 150lbs, boat can easily be carried on kayak racks or in the back of a pickup.

From the original sales information...

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.

Rumba sailboat owners love the combination of race boat performance and the ability to carry the whole family for summer outings.

The Rumba sailboat also has the safety of the SmartRig. Wind comes up? Instantly roll away the sail.

This remarkable sailboat design is the culmination of our experience in pioneering user friendly polyethylene sailboats. The cockpit in the sailboat has many functional shapes that have practical user benefits, and also serve to stiffen up the entire structure.

Most small sailboats require you to squat and contort in the middle of the boat in light winds. Rumba's aft cockpit features sculptured bucket seats with excellent lower back support, so you can sit, and be very comfortable, in light breezes. When the wind picks up, the rounded sides offer a great platform to lean out and really make the Rumba sailboat fly.
