The Eclipse 6.7, also called the Northbridge Eclipse, is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Carl Alberg as a cruiser and first built in 1978. [1] [2] [3] [4]
The design is a development of the South Coast 22, which was in turn based upon Alberg's South Coast 21 design. The Eclipse differs from the South Coast 22 by moving the mast 2 ft (0.61 m) forward, plus changes to the coach house roof, cockpit and the interior. [1] [2] [4] [5]
The design was built by South Coast Seacraft in United States, starting in 1978, but it is now out of production. [1] [2] [4] [6]
The Eclipse 6.7 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a spooned raked stem, an angled transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a swing keel. It displaces 1,800 lb (816 kg) and carries 500 lb (227 kg) of ballast. [1] [2] [4]
The boat has a draft of 4.83 ft (1.47 m) with the keel extended and 0.83 ft (0.25 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water, beaching or ground transportation on a trailer. The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering. [1] [2] [4]
The design has a hull speed of 5.52 kn (10.22 km/h). [4]
The boat is supported by an active class club that organizes racing events, the South Coast Seacraft Owners' Association. [7]
