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. They are so impressed that they have ordered Topaz Race X to go in all their centres.
