The Twelve
Description
The Twelve (also known as The Twelve) is a 12-foot fiberglass sailing dinghy designed and built by J. Melton of J. Melton Sailboats, Inc. in Andover, Ohio, in the early to mid-1980s. It was produced as a direct clone of the popular Laser one-design dinghy, sharing the same hull form, sail, mast, boom, daggerboard, and rudder as Melton's related The Ten model (a slightly smaller soft-chine daysailer). Construction history is limited, with very low production numbers—likely only a few dozen hulls total—before the small company ceased operations around 1990.

Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them.
