Great find Ronald! Thanks for posting that!

I have a Prindle Escape, which I was told is the P16 rig on the P18 hulls. It’s got a roller furling jib and the main is boomless, I was told Prindle made this model as motel and beach rental boats.

It’s got dual traps but I usually sail it solo, sometimes I’ll bring one or two of my dogs, or I’ll take out a beginner to teach them how to sail, trap, and It’s a great boat on a windy day but underpowered in light air.

I saw a lot of Prindles on the beach in Zandvoort, which is north of Amsterdam, it’s very shallow there for a couple hundred yards offshore so the boardless design and the kick up rudders work great in launching and returning from that beach.
