Named "Most Innovative Boat" at the 1999 National Marine Manufacturers Association's IMTEC trade show, the Escape Cha Cha is the perfect choice for the novice.
Sitting in a comfortable bucket seat, the user steers a forward tiller eliminating the need to climb across the boat every time it changes directions.
The Cha Cha's Simple Rig sailplan - a sprit pole that holds the sail out to the wind - incorporates only one control rope and there's no boom to whack the user in the head.
The Escape's unique Stableform hull design makes it three times less likely to tip than a conventional sailboat.
Constructed in one-piece, the Escape's polyethylene hull can withstand extreme abuse.
Transparent sails allow the user to navigate safely, while the bright yellow hull provides high visibility for oncoming traffic.
At 55 lbs., one adult or two kids can carry it.
Other standard features include self-draining cockpits, drink holders, and mast steps.
The Cha Cha fits in most wagons and SUVs.
This boat was purchased new from a dealer in 2010.
It has only been sailed and paddled a few times.
All specified parts are included and in are in good working order.
It will carry an adult, but is better suited for a child.
It is fast and easy to rig.
This is a great little boat for a novice to learn sailing basics, or for smaller bodies of water.
