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 2feet 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 18000NaN0 and carries 5000NaN0 of ballast.[1] [2] [4]
The boat has a draft of 4.83feet with the keel extended and 0.83feet 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 5.52kn.[4]
The boat is supported by an active class club that organizes racing events, the South Coast Seacraft Owners' Association.[7]
