The Prindle Escape stands as a testament to the "sailing for everyone" ethos that Performance Catamarans Inc. championed during the height of the beach catamaran boom. Designed as an entrylevel, rotomolded alternative to the highperformance fiberglass racing machines like the Prindle 16 and 19, the Escape was engineered for durability, simplicity, and ease of transport. While the larger Prindle models were defined by their highaspect hulls and complex rigging, the Escape utilized highdensity polyethylene (HDPE) construction to create a nearly "bulletproof" hull capable of being dragged across rocky beaches or handled by novice sailors without the fear of osmotic blistering or gelcoat cracking.
