Topper Spice
Sailing the SPICE is like being in a baby BOSS: smooth handling coupled with staggering speed. The deep rudder makes manoeuvering predictable and easy - even at low speeds - which is a great benefit on crowded start lines and tight mark roundings. The primary rig controls are based on the much admired BOSS and Buzz systems: the single ended vang (kicker) line is fed out under the mainsheet jammer so it is always adjustable from the wire. The much copied single line kite halyard and bowsprit system makes for quick hoists while the chute mouth in front of the jib means drops are hassle-free on both gybes. The sheet loads are light enough for everyone to cope with easily, yet there is enough to occupy even the best crews - especially those who have only sailed single wire boats! The most important aspect of the SPICE is that it is relatively forgiving - you can make quite a few mistakes without getting wet. You spend more time blasting and less time swimming! This makes it much less frustrating than other twin wire boats (or others of similar performance) so you can get into your racing much quicker. And if you've only sailed single-wire boats before, you'll find trapezing next to your crew much more civilised: tactical discussions, polite requests and even warnings don't have to be shouted to be audible! In short, the SPICE is for ordinary people who want an extraordinary experience.

Topper Buzz
Buzz is fast, fun and forgiving. Designer Ian Howlett strived to achieve a huge ‘grin factor’ and the Buzz delivers! It is really an outright racer. Yet Buzz is so simple to rig and sail that it is accessible to allcomers. Buzz has fun and excitement built into every inch of her ultra-modern and glamorous 14 feet (4.20m). It is the ultimate trainer for the young and not so young to develop their asymmetric and trapezing techniques. Sailing the Buzz is pure simplicity. Pure joy. It has rapidly gained converts in clubs up and down the country. Ideal for young entrants into performance sailing, it is also attracting many couples to the ever growing class fleets.

Topper Topaz VIBE
Fast and fun yet stable and controllable so you'll spend all your time sailing and not swimming.

Topper Topaz Magno
Topper MD Martin Fry first outlined his vision for a wide-appeal, low cost, mass production family dinghy to designer Ian Howlett and designer/builder Rob White nearly four years ago. The concept called for a totally modern sailboat that was appealing to all members of a family and was user friendly from day one. The concept called for a totally modern sailboat that was appealing to all members of a family and was user friendly from day one. Above all it had to be seriously tough and readily affordable. The average modern family 14 footers start at £6000. The Magno is expected to retail for significantly less representing outstanding value for money. Much of the cost saving has been achieved by utilising the revolutionary hull construction methods as pioneered by Topper when producing the hugely successful Topaz. This same technique is now being used to produce the new baby Taz and the Magno. More information on this unique construction method can be found here. The introduction of the Magno makes gennaker performance sailing easy. The boat is simplicity itself to rig and launch, the fantastic control systems are childs play, and the Topaz level construction quality guarantees the lowest maintenance family sailboat ever produced. The dynamic yet forgiving Howlett hull is married to an extremely controllable rig that is perfect for less experienced sailors but will also provide that extra oomph on demand. As you set sail for the first time - the spacious and comfortable cockpit has a secure and confident feel. As with all Howlett designs stability is reassuring and seasoned sailors will quickly appreciate the pedigree handling, impressive performance levels and high specification fittings throughout. Whether you are a top racer or a newcomer to sailing the Magno allows you to sail at your own pace! She will happily welcome the whole family aboard for a relaxed days sailing. The boat has comfortable capacity for four. The Selden gnav system makes for a roomy cockpit area. This clever hull design even allows you to remove the thwart seat from the centre of the cockpit to add even more space. The Topaz Magno is supplied with built-in storage compartments in the cockpit and the transom areas. The Magno is also perfect for teaching youngsters or beginners. The power source is a modern and easily handled rig and can even be reefed for less experienced crews or in high winds. The slab reefing main can be reduced or increased depending on the conditions and crew on the day. The furling jib means you can transform the Magno to a powerful singlehander and you can also keep the powerful gennaker under wraps until you are ready to unleash the ultimate adrenaline rush. The gennaker system is supremely efficient and even young sailors can raise or lower the gennaker on a single line launch as smoothly as the professionals. The Magno is a landmark design which promises to bring family sailing to a brand new audience in a value for money package that may never be matched again.

Topper Topaz OMEGA
The Topaz Omega is the largest ever trilam thermoplastic sailboat. She was launched at The London Boat Show at Excel in January 2004. The launch was a massive success. Orders received were far in excess of anything we could have dreamt. And the Yachting press loved the look of the boat. Editors were scrambling to arrange boat tests which are pencilled in for early Summertime. Full producrion is scheduled for April/ May 2004. The Omega eclipses the Magno as the largest boat in the range, with oodles of cockpit room and a high sheer to floor ratio for the most comfortable sailing position of any trilam thermoplastic sailboat on the market. The Topaz Magno and Topaz Omega also have the important cruising advantage of pivoting lightweight sandwich centreboard.


Topper Topaz Xenon
The new Topaz Xenon concept called for a totally modern sailboat that offered exhilerating performance, bags of fun - yet was user friendly, forgiving and great value for money. The Topper design team set to work and the Xenon was born... an affordable dedicated club sailboat, as last! The Xenon is fun, fast and forgiving. Designers Ian Howlett and Rob White strived to achieve the ultimate grin factor and the XENON delivers! It provides all the performance and thrills a club racing sailor could ever wish for. The Xenon has fun and excitement built into every inch of her ultra-modern and glamourous hull. Quite simply, it is the perfect club racer at an unbelievably low price. With it's stylishly contoured gunwales, ultra-modern controllable rig, battened Mylar Mainsail from Hyde Sails, simple asymmetric gennaker system and the proven Topaz build quality, the Xenon is a package that provides more raw performance per pound than any other boat currently on the UK market. The Topaz XENON is seriously tough and virtually maintenance free. It represents outstanding value for money retailing for significantly less than other comparable classes. Much of the cost saving has been achieved by utilising the revelutionary hull construction method as pioneered by Topper when producing the hugely succesful Topaz. This same technique is now being used to produce the new baby Taz, Magno and Omega.

Toper Topaz Tres
The Topaz TRES uses the same rig as the DUO with the addition of a potent gennaker system. In the three sail set-up with a modern, highly advanced rig, fully battened mainsail, retracting pole and single-line hoist and drop gennaker system, the Topaz is every inch a top racing boat. Gennaker sailing is a real buzz. It is easy to underestimate the sheer exhilaration of sailing the Topaz TRES. When you are out on the trapeze, gennaker launched and fully powered up, few sailing experiences will come close. The Topaz TRES is the perfect introduction to asymmetric sailing. Power and control The powerful battened main and ample gennaker provides bags of excitement and performance without spoiling the concept of user friendliness by going over the top. Sail and rig positions are perfectly positioned and easy to adjust. The large and uncluttered self-draining cockpit provide a spacious and stable platform for helm and crew. In high winds the mainsail reefing system is a welcome feature and theoption of a furling jib means that the TRES can be transformed into a singlehander in minutes. A quick pull on the single-line gennaker system launch and the TRES takes off with blistering acceleration. Yet the loads on the gennaker can easily be managed by young sailors even in a big breeze. Even though the TRES may well be seen as the perfect introduction to high performance sailing it has many years of progression built-in. For mostcrews there may well never be a need to move on.

Toper Topaz Duo
The Topaz DUO offers sailors of all abilities the excitement of the new generation racing designs at unbeatable value for money. The DUO and TRES utilise a second mast position to provide the perfect rig balance for two handed sailing. This is a unique feature of the Topaz Sailing System. Slot in the aluminium deck beam, tapered single spreader mast, add the trapeze and powerful fully battened rig and you’re ready to go. Thoroughbred performance The Topaz Duo is large enough to offer thoroughbred performance, yet easily handled by lightweights and young sailors. The DUO will inspire confidence in those who are new to high performance sailing. The secret is the perfect combination of power and control - The Topaz DUO is the ultimate first trapeze sailboat. Hull design The Topaz hull is designed to be stiff and light making it ideal for a full-on modern two-sail rig. Additional built-in buoyancy and a higher freeboard than on competitors designs ensures that two people can enjoy perfect sailing without the boat taking on water over the transom or the bow nosediving. Rig The tapered mast is supported by an aluminium beam that slots into specially moulded recesses. The beam also provides a neat platform for control line and halyard cleats for the sophisticated rig. Big roach, fully battened main and high aspect ratio jib transform the TOPAZ into a two-person flyer with a pedigree performance feel - yet no loss of the outstanding stability and vice-free temperament of the una-rigged versions. Fast and forgiving The Topaz DUO provides exciting performance but can easily be handled by inexperienced crew. The responsiveness matches anything you’ll find on a top racing dinghy yet the DUO remains remarkably stable and forgiving.

The latest edition to the comprehensive stable of Topaz sailing system rigs. The Topaz Race X adds a new and exciting option for singlehanded or two crew sailing. The power source is a large but controllable fully battened 6.9m2 mylar main sail and a big race jib. But the icing on the cake for this little pocket rocket comes in the shape of a full-on 9.0m2 asymmetric gennaker. Gennaker sailing The gennaker system is supremely efficient and even young sailors can raise or lower the gennaker on a single line launch as smoothly as the professionals. You can always keep the powerful gennaker under wraps until you are ready to unleash the ultimate adrenalin rush. But once you’ve experienced the power and control the Race X provides with kite up you won’t want to miss out ever again. “Seriously fast” The recent Yachts and Yachting test concluded that the Race X will deliver “seriously fast sailing for the club sailor right through to a professional sailor. The asymmetric system is simple, easy to use and easy to rig and takes the boat to yet another level only found in boats costing twice the retail price”. Thumbs up from Sunsail Market leading holiday company Sunsail have reported back that their Topaz Race X are constantly on the water and never on the beach at their centre in Colonna in the Caribbean. In fact they go on to say that this boat, more than any other, is being sailed by virtually every client that goes on their holidays proving the huge appeal yet accessibility of the new Race X rig.
