CL Echo
Description
The CL Echo (commonly called the CL Echo 12 or Echo 12) is a compact Canadian fiberglass sailing dinghy designed for recreational use, training, and versatility. It's produced by C&L Boatworks (also known as CL Sailboats) in Fort Erie, Ontario, Canada. Introduced in 1979 (with production continuing today), the design originated as a development of the West German Koralle Junior and was acquired by C&L in 1982 from Skene Boats of Ottawa. It's widely used for beginner instruction, youth programs, sailing schools, cadet training (including Canadian Navy programs), and family daysailing.

Disclaimer. Boats are not all the same -- even when produced in the same factory of the same model. Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them. You should take the same precautions, especially when the data is not from Sailrite. The information on this site is not guaranteed to be accurate.
