A light displacement carbon fiber sandwich construction vessel with a variable draft retractable keel and free standing rotating wing mainsail.
Built by Skeet Perry,the famous and respected boat builder known in both the South Florida and Northern California sailing communities. He teamed with Georg Thomas the renowned naval architect and engineer with extensive experience in the design and engineering of free standing wing masts and sailing hulls.
The design criteria was to create a quick, short handed, easy to maintain boat with a draft suitable for Biscayne Bay and has the ability to increase upwind performance in deeper water. Echo has a carbon, free standing, rotating wing mast. The mast rotates on a tapered carbon mandrel (built using an autoclave) extending from the keelson to approximately 7ft above the deck. The boat has a light displacement of 9000lbs (3000lbs ballast) with a variable draft keel that is able to sail with a draft between 4'9" and 6'6". It carries an asymmetrical spinnaker on an articulating deck mounted retractable pole and has auxiliary power of two retractable outboards. Mainsail is 466 sq. ft , staysail 235 sq. ft, and spinnaker 758 sq. ft. Echo's overall length is 39' with beam of 12'. It has a transom hung rudder with tiller steering. The boat has no complex systems, mechanicals, or rigging to maintain. Echo had bottom painted in 1/21, recently surveyed and insured.
