The Echo 12, also widely known as the CL Echo, is a versatile Canadian sailing dinghy designed for recreational sailing, youth instruction, and multipurpose utility 2. Introduced in 1979, the boat was initially built by Skene Boats of Gloucester, Ontario, as an evolution of the West German Koralle Junior. In 1982, the design was acquired by C&L Boatworks of Fort Erie, Ontario, under whose banner the model established its legacy as a durable training craft and a reliable lakeside companion. Capable of being sailed, rowed, or powered by a small outboard, the Echo 12 was engineered to offer maximum utility in an easily transportable package.
