“Having designed theDart 16 as the firstmass-market catwith low cost, roto-moulded hulls in 1997, Yves Lodaywent towork on the Topaz 16 almost adecade later. So it's not surprising to find that the 16 has taken a big stepforward in terms of design, construction andperformance” Y&Y

“Pedigree iswhat counts, RobWhite andYves Loday

have put decades of experience into the Topaz cats”

“Taut and responsive feedback confirms the notion that

high

performance rotomoulded cats have comeof age”

“Forget all those old catamaran preconceptions.

Topaz cats are a joy to flickfrom tack to tack”

The Topaz Catamaran Range have been designed by International multihull racing legendsYves Loday and Robert White. With such sailing experience and pedigree, not to mentiontheir proven design track records, it comes as little surprise that the Loday/White team haveproduced such a stunning range of catamarans.

As you would expect the TOPAZ 14 and TOPAZ 16 are unashamedly fast providingexhilarating performance. Yet these cats can also easily be handled by inexperienced crew.The responsiveness resembles that of Olympic racing machines yet they are exceptionallystable and forgiving.

The TOPAZ 12 is the newest and smallest catamaran in the range and is aimed at introducingyoungsters to catamaran sailing.

The Topaz cat hulls are all roto-moulded in tri-laminated Metalicene™ which is essentially indestructible andrequires virtually no maintenance. Topper's proven TOPAZ TRILAM construction method is unrivalled in thesailing industry and is unique to the TOPAZ Range of sailing dinghies and catamarans. Through the use ofspecialised construction technology and higher grade materials the Topaz TRILAM range are tougher, stifferand more robust than any other similar products.
