Welcome to the new and exiting world of Topaz sailing. New Zealand’s largest range of small sailing yachts brought to you by Topper International. The Topaz Range are sailed throughout the world, with sales growing year on year.
They are now represented in over 50 countries across the globe, a glowing testament to Topper's clever and innovative design philosophy. With over 30 years in thermoplastic boat building technology and construction no one has more experience.
Forget what you may have seen of plastic boats of the past, the Topaz Range are light years ahead in their construction technique. “Plastic yachts have now come of age”.
Topper International's unparalleled expertise in thermoplastics has meant that the very latest advances in material technology have produced a uniquely strong, lightweight, stiff and durable sailboat.
The Topaz Range benefit from the very latest thinking in hydrodynamic hull forms and rig, being designed by Rob White and Ian Howlett, designer of several America's Cup yachts including Prada, plus racing dinghy designs that include: The Buzz, Spice, ISO, Boss, Blaze, International 14 designs and many more.
Topper has gained significant advantages in thermoplastic moulding, along with the use of the highest grade plastic's on today's market. This is something Topper adheres to despite having to compete on price against some of its industrial grade plastic competitors.
Topper will not sacrifice on quality. Because of the investment in a new state of the art Ultra Hi Tech computer controlled moulding oven, Topper can produce larger, beamier sailboats which are unique among rota-moulded designs due to their hull uniformity and strength (see product page), which retail for less than you might think.
The Topper TAZ is for sailors of all ages and abilities as it is virtually indestructible, easy to rig and use, fast, maneuverable and above all, FUN!
The Topper Topaz UNO is the next stage up, being able to happily accommodate two adults. It can be sailed with six different rig options; from the single sailed UNO to the Topper Topaz Tres, complete with mainsail, jib, 8.6m2 asymmetric gennaker and trapeze.
