“The Topaz 14 was a bit special” “When you jump on you immediately know you are going to have a good sail. Feels like a light fast dinghy” “Above all, it's a beautifully behaved boat that would make a great racing class for lighter weight sailors up to 80kg.

TOPAZ CAT RANGE The Topaz Catamaran Range have been designed by International multihull racing legends Yves Loday and Robert White. With such sailing experience and pedigree, not to mention their proven design track records, it comes as little surprise that Yves and Robert have produced such a stunning range of catamarans.
As you would expect the TOPAZ 14 and TOPAZ 16 are unashamedly fast providing exhilarating performance. Yet these cats can also easily be handled by inexperienced crew. The responsiveness resembles that of Olympic racing machines yet they are exceptionally stable and forgiving.
The TOPAZ 12 is the newest and smallest catamaran in the range and is aimed at introducing youngsters to catamaran sailing.
TOPAZ TRILAM CONSTRUCTION Ultra tough & low-maintenance hull 3 YEAR HULL WARRANTY
The Topaz cat hulls are all roto-moulded in tri-laminated Metalicene™ which is essentially indestructible and requires virtually no maintenance. Topper's proven TOPAZ TRILAM construction method is unrivalled in the sailing industry and is unique to the TOPAZ Range of sailing dinghies and catamarans. Through the use of specialised construction technology and higher grade materials the Topaz TRILAM range are tougher, stiffer and more robust than any other similar products.
“Having designed the Dart 16 as the first mass-market cat with low cost, rotomoulded hulls in 1997, Yves Loday went to work on the Topaz 16 almost a decade later. So it's not surprising to find that the 16 has taken a big step forward in terms of design, construction and performance” Y&Y
“A great little performer on the water”

TOPAZ 12
The NEW TOPAZ 12 is the smallest catamaran in the Topper range and is aimed at introducing youngsters to catamaran sailing at as early an age as possible.
The Topaz 12 looks immaculate and has tremendous stability designed into the hulls with lots of volume in the bow to give the sailors a really confident feeling on the helm from the off. The key to the Topaz 12 is her simplicity. Rigging is quick and easy. The 12 is simple and lightweight enough to be operated by one child although it is primarily designed for two crew, a child an instructor or two children sailing together. The 12 features a manageable and durable Dacron Radial cut Mainsail and cross-cut jib, a sealed mast and a safe and simple lifting rudder system.
The Topaz cats are all roto-moulded in tri-laminated Metalicene™ polyethylene producing the stiffest, lightest and most dynamic hulls available. The hulls are also extremely robust and low maintenance making them ideal for even the toughest sailing school environments.
