The Escape 12 dinghy was a slightly updated version of the Escape Rumba dinghy. The two boats are virtually identical apart from the following minor differences: (a) the hull colour is white (not yellow), (b) the sail is made by Neil Pyrde with yellow edging and updated Escape logo, (c) the mast has an additional collar, an additional eyelet on the boom, and an additional unfurling line to make the auto furling system easier to use, (d) dual hiking straps, (e) the inside of the hull is moulded differently to the Rumba, (f) no drinks holders (a unique selling point of the original line!).
