The Echo 12 is a Canadian rowboat, motorboat and sailing dinghy that was first built in 1979.[1][2]

The Echo 12 is a development of the West German Koralle Junior.[1][3]

Production

The design is built by C&L Boatworks in Belleville, Ontario and was at one time also built by Skene Boats of Gloucester, Ontario, both located in Canada. The design remains in production by C&L.[1][2][4][5][6]

Design

The Echo 12 is a recreational sailboat, built predominantly of fibreglass, with wood trim. For sailing it has a fractional sloop rig, with aluminum spars, a raked stem, a plumb transom, a transom-hung, kick-up rudder made from mahogany, controlled by a tiller and a retractable mahogany daggerboard. It displaces Шаблон:Convert, has a bow storage compartment and may be fitted with a whisker pole. The mainsheet is mounted mid-boom to a block on the cockpit deck.[1][2]

The boat has a draft of Шаблон:Convert with the daggerboard extended and Шаблон:Convert with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer or car roof rack. The mast is a two-piece design to allow it to be disassembled for car-top transport.[1][2]

The boat has a motor-mount pad and can be fitted with an outboard motor of up to Шаблон:Convert. It also was factory-delivered with an athwartships seat and oarlocks for rowing.[1]

For racing the design is usually crewed by two sailors.[2]

Operational history

In a 1994 review Richard Sherwood wrote, "a straightforward beginner's boat, the Echo has been designed for versatility and may also be rowed or powered (with a maximum of five-horsepower outboard). Oarlock sockets are built in, and there is a pad for the motor. A rowing seat runs athwartship."[2]
