The TOPAZ SYSTEM comes with a choice of rig options so the boat can be set up to suit you. The TOPAZ SYSTEM hull comfortably holds two people of any size (youth and/or adult) so can be sailed singlehanded or as a two person dinghy.
The TOPAZ ‘CLUB’ is the most popular rig option and one of our best sellers. The TOPAZ CLUB offers great value as a simple one or two person boat. It is easy to handle and very robust. This rig option provides a great introduction to sailing as well as being an ideal multi-purpose family dinghy.
The TOPAZ ‘RACE’ rig offers extra performance with the use of a more powerful 6.9m2 fully-battened Mylar mainsail.
The TOPAZ ‘RACE X’ rig is for more experienced sailors featuring the addition of a 9.0m2 asymmetric gennaker. The Yachts and Yachting test concludes 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”.
The TOPAZ ‘TRES XT’ rig offers a great introduction to trapeze and asymmetric sailing. The Yachts and Yachting test states “Once the kite is up, the Tres XT fairly shoots away. Reaching performance is truly in the apparent wind sailing league”.
“A BOAT FOR THE 21ST CENTURY. THE TOPAZ IS A TRULY GROUNDBREAKING MULTI PURPOSE SAILING DINGHY. THE TOPAZ IS MODERN STYLISH, AND EASY TO SAIL. A BIG HIT WITH OUR GUESTS”
