Escape Rumba Help

• Add to quote

Hey All; I’m just decided to learn to sail and picked up a Escape Rumba but it’s short a dagger board and the rudder assembly. I figure I can build a dagger board from pictures off the internet but the rudder might be a little harder to reproduce. Just looking to have a little fun off the coast of NC. Thanks for any help  

We have a Rumba that I bought for my daughter (named "Rumb-baba") and have the rudder in our garage. The rudder blade is made from solid spruce (plywood will not work). I will be happy to temp-plate it for you if you like. The trick will be to come up with the rudder-head fitting with the retractable pins to allow you to mount/dismount the rudder. Doug Fisher of Ullman Sails in Sarasota, Fla (941) 951-0189 used to sell the boats and may have a source for replacement parts. Let me know if you're interested.  

That would be great svHyLyte, would it be too much to ask to temp-plate the dagger board also. I would gladly pay you for your troubles. Thanks again Danny  

Danny, I will PM you with my email address so you can respond with your mailing address so I can send you the pattern. The Rumba does not use a dagger board. It has a center board that rotates on a nylon pin that bolts across the centerboard trunk so that the board can be rotated up and down. A shock-cord runs from a hole in the crown of the center board through a jamb cleat so that one can adjust the board's position depending upon one's point of sail. Off the wind we rotate the board up almost entirely and she'll go like heck. Unfortunately, however, we laid the boat up for the winter once the water temperatures dropped below 75 and getting her out, off the trailer, and unbolting the centerboard at this point would be a costly and difficult endeavor. I'll be happy to do so in the spring, however. There is some possibility that my neighbor may not yet have stowed his boat (I bought two from a hotel that decided they didn't want to rent them to guests any longer due to insurance costs; rehabbed both, and sold one to a neighbor for enough to cover the out-of-pocket costs for both boats so ours cost my labor alone). If so I will see if he's willing to allow me to dismount his center board long enough to pattern the board. If you do not have it, the pin will be an issue but I suspect you could conjure one up by using a piece of plastic pipe with a matching diameter dowel through the center; or, by getting a local cabinet maker to turn down a small block of starboard on a lathe. They are fun boats but not so easy to sail as Escape portrayed. One thing to do is buy some foam pipe insulation or a pool noodle that will fit the boom and "pad" that back half unless you're willing to wear a helmet while you're sailing. You will brain yourself with the boom sooner or later and it will hurt without one or the other, I guaranty you that. Another thing is to dump the single line outhaul/furling line. I found that having two separate lines, one red for furling and a second, green, for out hauling the sail worked a lot better and one had no doubt which line one was hauling on. There are times when one does need to reef the sail and the two line arrangement seems to work best. N'any case, check your PM's.  

You might be able to buy those parts too: Escape Sailboat Parts or even here: APS - Sunfish - Rudder, Tiller and Daggerboard Probably more fun to make your own though.  

Propertydoctor said: Hi Guys! As far as I know, the only supplier of Escape boat parts is George at Mountain Road Trading Post Home 603.895.3501. He is a super nice guy. I do know that George has a source for the rudders and centerboards for the Rumba. He probably has a source for the rudder head and tillers too, if not, I was looking at my sunfish rudder head and believe it to be a functional match to the Rumba's. Unless the cost of the parts is prohibitive for you, or you just want a woodworking project, I would buy the proven parts and go sailing. I have an extensive background in boat building and fabrication and could easily carve these up but my time is too valuable. Why spend 3-4 hours cutting, sanding and finishing? I'd rather be on the water I also have a PDF of the Rumba manual if you need it. Send me an email and I'll forward it to you. Click to expand...

Thanks Propertydoctor; the manual would be nice to have. I have not been online long enough to send e-mails yet so I hope you'll get this. As it work out the boat came with all the hardware for the rudder just no blade nor anything with the centerboard. I did send a e-mail to MRT but will give them a call next week and ask about the centerboard. The bad news is the upper part of the mast is at the bottom of Kerr Lake in NC so thats my next challenge.Any suggestions would be welcome. svHyLte was kind enough to help with the rudder temp-plate so I think I'm on the way Thanks for your help Danny  

Because I am new to Sailnet and don't have 15 posts yet I can't private message anyone and because I don't have 20 posts I can't email anyone. KnotRight or anyone else that needs the Escape Rumba manual can email me direct at RFLucas64 @ gmail(dot)com and please put "Rumba Manual" in the subject line so your message doesn't end up in my trash folder. Happy sailing! - Propertydoctor  

Danny--Since I haven't rec'd anything from you I assume you cannot yet receive PM's. You can send your home address to me at svHyLyte(at)hotmail.com and I will forward a paper pattern for the rudder to you via USPS.  

Danny--I got your email to our ship's account and made up a pattern of the rudder earlier today. I will send that off to you together with some notes and photos tomorrow. No joy on the center-board thus far but be patient. Sailing season is some while yet.  

I have been doing repairs for local state park on Rhumba escape and sunfish. The rudder metal or plastic parts are the same as sunfish. I am refinishing daggerboard and rudder and can do paper tracing or photo and measurements for you. send me email [email protected] Paul  

Dan, The best thing about the Rumba is the fact that you can reef the sail if the winds get snotty or when you dump the boat (you will). We sailed a Sunfish as teenagers and it was a great boat but it did not have the performance of the Rumba which is more akin to a Laser. I bought my Rumba--two actually--from a hotel that used to rent them and then decided that they'd had too many problems with tourists getting stuck down wind of the place and calling for assistance. The boats were pretty beat up and took some fixing but when that was done I was able to sell one for the cost of both plus repairs and so got ours for the value of the repair labor. We towed ours around on vacations with the kids for several years and it was a lot of fun but it was a bit much for a kid alone. It's really a fairly performance boat for a youngster (I put a knot in the lead-line for the furler so the kids couldn't get the sail all the way to keep thing somewhat under control). With my daughter now grown, we don't use the boat much but when we do, I get a kick out of it. My wife still prefers a Sunfish as she thinks the Rumba is too much "work" but I like the boat and it is fun. (Actually, she really prefers the "big" boat as with that, all she has to do is steer, which she can do without getting soaked--most of the time!) FWIW...  

I am looking to replace strop strap that connects the fiddle brock to the mast on my Rumba. Mountain Road Trading Post does not have the part; does anyone have a source where I might purchase one? If anyone has the problem I did with the mast plate screws coming out, contact me - I found a decent solution that permits me to continue sailing - always good news!

We live in and are planning on inland lakes and intercoastal with this . I really want my to grow up sailing where I wished I had and this seems like a great boat that they can handle more as they get more proficient. Am over extending it's capabilities with an adult, maybe two and two small boys? All the are good for my needs and if the interest grows so too will the boat. I read it will remain afloat if swamped, what about righting it ? Given the age I was concerned about any parts needed down the road. But it seem there's not a lot to go wrong. Now.

Search forums Practical Boat Owner's Reader to Reader Replacement sail for Escape Rumba Thread starter Cleat Hill Billy Start date 5 Nov 2021 Cleat Hill Billy I am looking to buy a second hand Escape Rumba but it will need a new sail. I am finding it difficult to source a replacement sail in the UK so I am considering asking a sailmaker to make me a new one, using the existing as a template. Does anyone know of a UK sailmaker who could/would do this please?   Well-known member Probably best to ask around small local sailmakers who do repairs and one-offs. But it will not be cheap. The only cheap new sails are 'replica' sails for things like the Laser, made in China by the hundred. I doubt getting a sail made will work out cheaper than importing one from the US, and you 'd have to pay VAT if you import one. Could the old sail be repaired? what draws you to this boat? What do you want from it? There may be other boats which will do what you want better. These things did not really catch on, there may be reasons for that!   Thank you Wing Mark, you have confirmed my fears about the likely expense of getting a new sail made :-( I am looking at this boat because I plan to tow it down to Spain and sail it off the beaches of the Mar Menor, which is a shallow (sometimes very shallow) salt water lagoon and the draft of this boat and its 'pop up' daggerboard and rudder make it seem like a good option. But I am happy to be guided towards alternatives !   You could try here cheyneyrock.co.uk/sailing/escape-sailboats/escape-sailboat-parts.php   Cleat Hill Billy said: Thank you Wing Mark, you have confirmed my fears about the likely expense of getting a new sail made :-( I am looking at this boat because I plan to tow it down to Spain and sail it off the beaches of the Mar Menor, which is a shallow (sometimes very shallow) salt water lagoon and the draft of this boat and its 'pop up' daggerboard and rudder make it seem like a good option.

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 it’s really blowing, reduce sail area. If the wind is light, pull it out all the way. The sail sleeves over the two piece mast eliminating the need for halyards, and is controlled by a single mainsheet. All in all, it’s no wonder the Escape 12 sailing dinghy is considered one of roomiest and most user friendly boats in it’s class. The hull of the Escape 12 is rotomolded polyethylene instead of fiberglass which allows for durable, lightweight, and low cost construction. This translates to an affordable boat that can take the punishment of beach sailing, g roundings, or being dragged along the shore. Like the Rumba, the 12 incorporates Escape’s Stableform Hull design making it 3X less likely to capsize than a traditional sailboat. 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 to sail into water too shallow, the shock cord will allow the board will swing up until you float past the obstruction, then you can easily return the board to the down position. The rudder has a spring loaded head which acts the same way. With a board/rudder up draft of less than 3 1/2 inches, there’s never a reason to worry about sailing into shallow water with the Escape 12 dinghy. This boat can be transported by hand, dolly, car top, or trailer. Specification Related Links Great choice! Your favorites are temporarily saved for this session.

Sailboat Guide Escape Rumba Description Seller's Description Selling an Escape Rumba Sailboat that is in excellent condition and comes with a brand new sail, and the original mylar sail. The boat has spent more time under a tarp in storage than on the water. The Rumba is the largest in the Escape family. It has a patented smart rig sail plan which allows for infinite adjustment of sail area, making launching and retrieval a breeze. This boat is extremely stable and user friendly. Crew capacity is 550 pounds, and will accommodate up to 3 adults with plenty of room for kids. The hull is made of super impact-resistant roto-molded polyethylene and has always been covered. Comes with 2 sails. Yellow Sail is brand new and original Mylar sail is a good practice sail. . Quickly gets up to speed in the lightest of winds yet the powerful sail is easily tamed by the ability to instantly roll away the sail on its ‘smart rig’. The sail wraps around the mast for quick rigging, furling, unfurling and partial sail adjustments on the water. The centerboard and rudder swing up in shallow water or for beaching. The forward cockpit provides lots of space, and the aft cockpit features sculptured bucket seats with excellent lower back support, so you can sit, and be very comfortable in light breezes. The cockpit is also self-draining, with drink holders and mast step. When the wind picks up, the rounded sides offer a great platform to hike out for ultimate speed and planing performance.

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.

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.
