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.

Red Air Paddleboards 

 

Red Air High Performance inflatable Paddleboards solve all the Storage, Transport and Safety problems of  solid boards and pack away so small that you can take them whereever you go, Plane, Boat, Bach or Car!

And they are a whole lot cheaper than solid boards, more durable, more versatile and kinder on the body.

All Red Air boards come with a carrying bag (with rucksack straps), a repair kit (not that you'll need it but better safe than sorry), and a very powerful especially-designed hi-tech pump fitted with a pressure gauge so you know when you’ve got enough air inside. It only takes 3-4 minutes to fully inflate the board with this pump - awesome! Or you can inflate them with the 12v compressor.

Red Air Eleven

Vital statistics      

Length 11’ 0     Width  29"     Weight  12kg  

Price:       $1379.00

The cruiser in the Red Air range. Stable, Speedy and with lots of Volume.

Stable, really easy to use, and with glide of the kind you only get from inflatable boards. This is a great all-round SUP for learning, cruising, exploring, and general family fun. You can pretty much do anything on it! Full EVA deck for under foot comfort and three moulded fins finish off this fantastic family cruiser, that's super durable and still small enough to be packed away in a small bag at the end of the session.

Red Air NineFour

Vital statistics

Length 9’4     Width  30"     Weight  10kg  

Price:       $1299.00

Small, fun and lively, the 9'4 is a really neat little wave board or a really nice all-rounder for the lighter person

The newest addition to the Red Air line-up, this is the baby of the family. With plenty of rocker and a nicely pointed nose, it's totally at home in the surf, but with 30" of width it's still extremely stable in feel. And being so short, it's amazingly stiff and rigid too. If it wasn't for the cushioned ride, and the huge comfort in knowing that if the board hits you it's not going to hurt, you'd hardly know you were on an inflatable.

This board is particularly brilliant as a learner board. So with one of these in the car boot you need never miss a session again.

It also makes a very nice cruising board for youngsters and lightweight adults.

Red Air Ten

Vital statistics

Length   10’0     Width  29.5"    Weight  12kg       

Price:       $1299.00

The ideal all-rounder for the average weight rider...

This is the ideal all-round travel Paddleboard for the lighter rider. It's a whole lot of fun for surfing, (makes a great 'prone surfing' trainer board too!), but it still paddles well on the flat stuff, with a nice glide, and is still extremely stable at just under 30" wide.

The board has more rocker preshaped into it than the 11', which means your feet are nearer the water when standing in the middle, and slightly less performance upwind in choppy conditions. However, when you're on the wave, the extra rocker line of this 10' is all positive - it's a lot of fun for waveriding.  It catches waves effortlessly, and goes down the line really nicely, and you can get up on the nose real easy.  It's the perfect board for beginner surfers and paddlesurfers.

And you can take it wherever you want to go. Even on the plane! Board and paddle all in one small travel bag, and you've still got plenty of weight allowance for all your other stuff. It's also just great as a family fun platform. Let the kids use it as a diving platform. With its full EVA deck for under foot comfort and softness, they aren't going to hurt it, and it isn't going to hurt them. This really is a great all-round fun tool.

Paddle Options

Having the right paddle makes all the difference. But - while it's great to have a super-light state-of-the-art carbon blade in your hands - you don't need to break the bank to get a good functional paddle.  We have a superlative range of paddles that can suit any pocket, made to our own specification by a well-established US paddle manufacturer.
