The Topper Topaz is a British single-handed or two-handed sailing dinghy that was designed as a beginner and intermediate racer.[1]
The boat is referred to by the manufacturer as the Topaz System, as the basic hull can be fitted with four interchangeable rig and sail combinations, with the aim of matching performance to sailor skill level.[1][2][3]
The design is recognized as an International Sailing Federation (ISAF) Learn To Sail Class and was named Best Dinghy by Sail Magazine.[1]
