The EC12 is undoubtedly, the most documented class in the history of Model Yachting. The practice began in the mid 80's when an active group in the Pacific Northwest decided to share the knowledge they had gained with the rest of the world. That tradition continues today. With the advent of the Internet, information now flows freely from expert to beginner and is shared with the masses along the way.

These various items will help you get to know the class and Model Yachting. Included are some items that may not be EC12 specific but informational to the model yachting hobby. Also included are books now out of publication, just in case you find that treasure at the local garage sale:
