The ECho

and If you like to row distance check out

 the islander

Deceptively simple in appearance, the Echo integrates numerous functions within its flowing lines. This streamlined hull is easily rowed in flat water while the 21" waterline beam is reassuring and stable in rough water. The Echo will rise and skim like a powerboat when pushed by a strong rower leaving a remarkably small wake at normal rowing speeds.

The long molded keel gives directional stability even in surfing conditions and makes for easy beaching without fear of damage. The baidarka type bow and rolled gunwale keep the rower dry in the roughest conditions.

 

                                                                                   

     

bulletThe Echo hull and deck was designed around this unique folding rigger system. The Echo is always completely rigged and is easily transported by folding the riggers over the seat and securing them with the attached straps. Just unfold, clip the riggers open with the "E" clip and row. When the riggers are folded into the shell and held by the built in security strap, locking the seat and riggers from moving, the lightweight shell is easily carried by using the riggers for handles

bulletThis unique stretcher is designed without the traditional heelcups to be rowed with any size shoes, cold weather boots or barefooted. Also offered are the traditional footstretcher with clogs and large heel cups. Rowing shoes may be attached to either footstretcher if desired.

Two portals, one on each side of the cockpit, are standard for the Echo.

The internal keel is a must for directional stability and ease of beaching and the built in carrying handle is great for ease of lifting.
