Rig and Sails
Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3
- SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D : Displacement in pounds.
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
Displacement / Length Ratio
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
Comfort Ratio
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
Capsize Screening Formula
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Escape Cha Cha and Rumba
I started with the original Captiva model because I was looking for a sailing dinghy for my beach cabin. It replaced a well-used Bruynzeel plywood El Toro in which I taught my two sons to sail. The El Toro was not happy being hauled up over our rocky beach and had to be carried in and out of the water. The construction of the Escapes meant that I could slide the Captiva over the rocks with impunity.
The Escape line now includes several new models. My new Escape is the bigger Rumba. I keep it near the office and use it to tour the marina. The roll-up mainsail system makes getting under way a snap and also allows for effortless reefing. I don't think the Rumba is as fast as a Laser but it's no toy either. The Rumba is big enough for two adults to sail comfortably. Your butt will get wet in waves but that's okay. The unique cockpit design of the Rumba lets you sit deep in the boat or on the rail for hiking. There is sufficient buoyancy in this hull to carry mom and pop and three small kids.
Rumba.gif (21468 bytes)For the ultimate in little-boat fun factor you should look at the new Cha Cha. This is a 55-pound, 7-foot, 6-inch dinghy with a forward rudder. You steer with a tiller that comes aft and this allows you to sit square in a bucket seat facing forward. The bucket seat is molded in. With the rudder forward and the tiller coming aft you push the tiller to the direction you want the boat to go. This can eliminate some of the confusion that occurs when beginners first take the helm.
There is no upkeep to these boats. I spray mine off with fresh water when I'm done just out of habit. The polyethylene hulls are extremely durable. They tend to be a little heavier than fiberglass hulls but the trade-off is worth it. I want dinghies that I can ignore for the winter.
There's nothing quite like teaching a kid to sail. My pal Andy came up to the cabin in his powerboat and asked if I could teach his 12-year-old daughter to sail. Here's my system. I put Lauren in the Captiva and waded into the water holding the Captiva on a beam reach. I had her sail straight out from the beach about 200 feet, then tack and sail straight back in (another beam reach) to where I stood waist deep in the water waiting to catch her. Then I turned her around and set her off again. After doing this several times I told her I wasn't going to catch her any more and she would need to tack again. In 10 minutes she was reaching back and forth with a big grin on her face. The grin on Andy's face was even bigger. I was glowing.
The Escape series are serious little fun boats perfect for spreading the joys of sailing.

A boat with a BN of 1.6 or greater is a boat that will be reefed often in offshore cruising. Derek Harvey, "Multihulls for Cruising and Racing", International Marine, Camden, Maine, 1991, states that a BN of 1 is generally accepted as the dividing line between so-called slow and fast multihulls.

Posts: 3. The Escape Rumba and the Escape 12 have the same hull - there are slight differences in the rigging and the sail, but they are essentially the same boats. The Escape boats were last produced in 2007 and distributed by Johnson Outdoors. The website listed above by svHyLyte has some remaining parts in inventory, perhaps they have a boom.

A Wayfarer would be the ultimate in a relatively seaworthy centreboard dinghy (or CL14, CL16 - both Wayfarer clones) Bristol 31.1, San Francisco Bay. Like.
I own a Rumba model Escape sailboat. The four of the six screws that hold the metal plate on which the mast and boom pins sit on have come loose and the nuts that are embedded in the hull are stripped. I appreciate any ideas! shemandr. Jan 1, 2006 7,043
