EC12

Welcome to the New Zealand EC-12 Owners Association (NZEC12OA)

The EC-12 class yacht, inspired by a historic America’s Cup design by Charles Morgan, is a symbol of enduring beauty and competitive spirit. The EC-12 features fiberglass hulls made from the one mold, ensuring each yacht has durable construction and is a testament to precision and heritage.

The strict one-design rule, in place since the 1970s, keeps the focus on sailing skill. The EC-12 is celebrated as the most elegant radio-controlled yacht in New Zealand, with a community spread across Kapiti, Nelson, Christchurch, and Ashburton.

Join our vibrant EC-12 community and take part in regular club events and national championships. Whether you’re an experienced sailor or just starting, the EC-12 offers a thrilling and accessible sailing experience. Contact us to learn more and become part of the tradition.
