The Topaz Sailing System
The Topaz Sailing System is the triumphant result of a five year development programme in which renowned designers Ian Howlett and Rob White, builders White formula and Topper International accepted no compromises. The team’s pursuit of excellence in design and construction ensures that the Topaz will attract sailors of all ages and abilities for many years to come.
The Topaz Sailing System quite simply means that the boat can be set up to satisfy the requirements of the sailor or sailors on the day. The Topaz Sailing System has a truly wide appeal, value for money and a sailboat that anyone can master quickly, yet which offers many stages of advancement.
The Topaz delivers versatility without a hint of compromise. She offers a variety of sailing options, ranging from simple yet thoroughbred single hander to a pedigree new generation gennaker sailboat. With graduated steps inbetween, the choice is yours. The Topaz Sailing System provides fast track sailing from beginner’s basics through to complex techniques – a system that matches the requirements of modern families and forward thinking sailing schools and holiday companies around the globe.
Unique and Unequalled Construction
One of the many secrets behind the Topaz success story lies in the remarkable sophistication and ruggedness of the manufacturing process. Rota-moulding is very strong but finish quality on other designs is often poor and mouldings are heavy. Topper International have a unique understanding of manufacturing in plastic, built up over 30 years of producing the original topper dinghy. The Topaz optimises the special needs of the chosen moulding technique to new and unrivalled levels of sophistication, ensuring uniformity of wall thickness and the perfect strength to weight ratio.
Masses of buoyancy are built into the ultra stiff hull which is vital to the sailboats responsive performance on the water. This precision moulded TRILAM 3 ply sandwich is unique to Topper and guarantees that no other rota moulded sailboat comes even close to the Topaz in terms of strength rigidity and durability. What you get is a beautiful curvaceous hull that performs like a dream, is virtually maintenance free, comes complete with an impressive 3 year warranty and in the unlikely event of an accident is easy to repair.
Quite simply, the Topaz is a landmark design offering the perfect combination of simplicity and thrills to a new generation of sailors.
