"Here's a photo and study plan of the first Echo II to be launched: two weeks ago today in Tidewater, Virginia. Russ Brown's brother Steve was lead man on the job in the Lombardi Yachts shop. They did a beautiful job. Owner is a very experienced yachtsman, but this is his first multihull. Warm weather and light winds, no more than 14 knots, made for two days of pleasant trial sails during which we could effortlessly do well over 120% of wind speed with five people aboard."
