echo 12 foot rockport
Hi. Just registered today. I bought a used echo 12' sailboat from craigslist for my son's birthday. The tiller is missing. I'd like to get another. Does anyone know if I have to get a tiller from the manufacturer of the Echo or can any tiller be modified for this small sailboat? Thanks for your help.

I found this website searching for 'Echo 12 sailboat': http://vaxxine.com/clsailboats/pricelist.htm
They do not list a replacement tiller but perhaps you can contact the company in Ontario.
Interestingly, a new CL Echo 12 seems to sell for over $5K. Looks like a fun boat.
I bet you could fashion or fabricate your own tiller from wood and some hardware for far less then what a replacement might cost.
Do you have any photos of the rudder that show the tiller attachment point?

Actually, if you scroll down the top list you'll find the replacement tiller w/extension for $96.

I agree, looks like a super fun boat to sail... wet, but fun. The one that really looks hot is the "Stealth" ... with the little sprit and spinnaker launcher... can you imagine this rocket on a 15-20 knot day. The only think touching the water would be the skeg and the rudder.

Apparently I do not know how to use a scroll bar.
Tiller replacement found and at $96 will not break the bank.
Thanks Joe for paying attention!

Well, you're welcome... and thank you for the link, it got me dreaming of getting back out on a high performance dinghy before I get much older.
