She sails like a proper cruising boat, behaves safely offshore, and lives up to what the Sun Odyssey name has meant across eight generations of the lineup.</span></p><p><em class="ql-size-large" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Escape II</em><span class="ql-size-large" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;"> stands out in the used market for two reasons that matter: her history and her condition. Privately sailed on freshwater lakes since 2015, first on Lake Champlain, now on Lake Erie, she has been spared the osmotic stress, electrolysis, and through-hull corrosion that accelerate aging on saltwater boats. Her current owner purchased her in 2021 and invested systematically in her between 2022 and 2025, replacing sails, cushions, key mechanical components, and electronics throughout.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span class="ql-size-large" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">The result is a cruiser boat that is ready to sail away now.</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class="ql-size-large">T</span><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: transparent;" class="ql-size-large">his boat is open to co-brokerage.
